Precision Medicine, AI and the Science of Personalized Healthcare
About this book
A fascinating combination of patient stories and scientific explanation shedding light on the most promising trend in healthcare today: precision medicine
In Precision Medicine, AI and the Science of Personalized Healthcare, senior researcher at Harvard Business School and former CEO of DecisionRx, a pioneering medication therapy optimization company, James Wallace, delivers an eye-opening new discussion of how cutting-edge precision medicine is transforming the cost, access, and outcomes of modern healthcare. The author relies on real-world experiences that showcase the practical, human benefits of precision medicine and how those benefits can accrue to people from all walks of life.
You'll discover how personalized treatments—those based on a patient's genetic, environmental, and lifestyle attributes—can do more than traditional medicine to combat a wide variety of genetic disorders, chronic illnesses, and treatment inefficiencies. You'll also learn about precision medicine's potential to lower healthcare costs for everyone while improving outcomes.
Inside the book:
