Question

Precision medicine aims to individualize care by understanding differences in genetics, lifestyle, and environment. Pharmacogenomics and cancer genetics represent two promising areas for this approach. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, precision health allows interventions to be customized based on an individual's unique genetic makeup, lifestyle, and environmental factors. This personalization can lead to more effective treatments and better outcomes. By collecting and analyzing family health history, individuals can gain insights into their disease risks. Armed with this knowledge, they can take proactive steps to prevent or detect diseases early. Mobile health applications also enable real-time tracking of health information, including nutrition, physical activity, and blood pressure.
