The Power of Precision Medicine and Data

09:00 AM

Advances in precision medicine hold great promise for treating diseases on an individualized basis and for the general population. The key, however, is in harnessing the voluminous amount of data that is currently available and being generated and collected among various initiatives and sources. Equally important is protecting that data as it is shared among myriad stakeholders, including patients, clinicians, researchers and other healthcare organizations. The privacy and security of the data will influence whether patients and clinicians will participate in these initiatives. Technology will once again play an important role in both harnessing and securing the data, especially as the cloud is being leveraged as a cost-effective and efficient way to handle the data.
