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:

  • Explorations of how precision medicine can address the triple crisis of cost, access, and quality that currently plagues the US healthcare system
  • Unique combinations of compelling human stories and accessible scientific explanations that render a complex subject approachable and relatable
  • A compelling argument for how the precision medicine movement can transform the healthcare system and the lives of the people who navigate it every day


Perfect for healthcare, technology, and business professionals grappling with the skyrocketing costs of patient care, Precision Medicine, AI and the Science of Personalized Healthcare is also a must-read for healthcare consumers frustrated by the current, "one-size-fits-all" approach to medicine.
