Personalized medicine is critical to the future of our healthcare and wellness. Using vast sets of clinical, genomic, proteomic, and other patient data, potentially lifechanging treatments can be discovered and delivered to patients. However, implementation of personalized medicine faces unique challenges, partly because it is focused on individuals, each with their own unique genetics and history, whereas clinical trials tend to average across populations. What changes are needed for personalized medicine to truly become a reality? In this episode, we discuss some of the biggest obstacles and what is needed to catalyze advances in personalized medicine.
