The year 2003 marks
the completion of the Human Genome Project, a 13-year, $3.00 billion
collaborative effort for the sequencing and mapping of the complete human
genome. Human Genome Project further enabled scientists to research extensively
on the gene variants to specific diseases and develop targeted therapeutics. The
completion, consequently, created the platform for the development of precision
medicines. Since its introduction in the early 21st century, the precision
medicine market has shown promising growth.
Precision
medicine involves a detailed study of patient-specific information to diagnose
and characterize the diseases, resulting in target-based treatment of diseases.
The concept of precision medicine is rapidly growing in the medical community through
tremendous expansion in various advanced technologies, such as next-generation
sequencing, molecular biomarker analysis, bioinformatics, and big data
analytics, among others. Precision medicine acquired immense potential to
prevent and treat various diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular, neurology,
diabetes, and other diseases, which are burdening the present healthcare system, owing to such
advanced technologies.

Precision
medicine holds immense potential to restructure the healthcare industry. It is
an emerging approach that enables the investigation of various diseases by
evaluating the genetic makeup of an individual subject, thereby providing tailored
treatment to each patient. By applying a thorough understanding of diseases
with rich patient data, accurate risk assessments, active monitoring, early
detection, and advanced analytics, precision medicine can help physicians tailor
medicines in accordance with the needs of individual patients leading to better
outcomes at potentially lower costs.
