FROM OUR SPONSOR: PERSONALIZED MEDICINE POWERED BY GENOMICS |
|
Our healthcare system faces the ongoing challenge of increasing rates of chronic disease and poor patient compliance. As efforts to support preventive medicine evolve, so does the need to develop novel approaches to motivate patients to make relevant and lasting behavior changes and move away from the one-drug-fits-all model. Scientific and clinical knowledge of how genetics applies to common, complex disease and drug response continues to grow, and it is becoming evident that genetic
information can serve a powerful and motivating factor for both patients and physicians.
