Precision medicine, also known as personalized medicine, is a modern approach to healthcare that considers individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person. This approach allows doctors and researchers to predict more accurately which treatment and prevention strategies for a particular disease will work in which groups of people.

AI Unlikely To Solve Clinician Shortage
