Precision Medicine and its Application to Chemical and Biological Diagnostics
Abstract
As per the 2008 President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, precision medicine is "The tailoring of medical treatment to the individual characteristics of each patient to classify individuals into subpopulations that differ in their susceptibility to a particular disease or their response to a specific treatment." Precision medicine concepts could be implemented with chemical and biological (CB) diagnostic technologies to enhance medical decision-making. A literature review was performed to identify recent advancements made in precision medicine. The focus was on CB diagnostics, which identified various precision medicine concepts, technologies, and products on the market to assess the state of precision medicine. While it was found that there is a lack of research directly tying precision medicine, diagnostics, and CB agents, there are multiple avenues identified in which precision medicine can assist when dealing with CB agents, not necessarily enhancing diagnoses but improving clinical outcomes. The information in this analysis highlights the need for technology acquisitions and creation of large datasets to implement precision medicine concepts.
