Personalized medicine is an evolving approach to healthcare that takes into account an individual's genetic makeup to inform decisions about how to prevent and treat diseases. It is also known as precision medicine and is based on the idea that each person's needs and responses to treatments are unique. This approach is used to tailor treatments to the individual, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. It allows healthcare professionals to take into account individual characteristics, such as an individual's genetic makeup, lifestyle, and environment, when making decisions about healthcare. Through this approach, it is hoped that the right treatments can be provided to the right people at the right time, leading to better patient outcomes and improved quality of life.
