Personalised Medicine for the European Citizen
– Towards more precise medicine for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease (iPM)
Executive Summary
The way we understand and treat disease is chang- 7 ing rapidly. The list of conditions for which there is no satisfactory treatment is increasing and, even when treatments are available, many patients either do not respond or experience unacceptable side effects. Our increasing capacity to describe a person’s biological makeup has led to the realisation that many of these problems are explained by the variability in our individual characteristics. Consequently, it is clear that we must move away from a one-size-fits-all approach and towards healthcare that is tailored to the needs and characteristics of the individual.
Personalised medicine is a new approach to classifying, understanding, treating and preventing disease based on data and information on individual biological and environmental differences. It seeks to integrate data on the entire dynamic biological makeup of each individual as well as the environmental and lifestyle factors that interface with this makeup to generate a complex, individual phenotype. Using this information, models can be generated to identify the most appropriate healthcare choices, from treatment to prevention, in individual citizens. In essence, personalised medicine represents a shift from reactive medicine to
proactive, pre-emptive and preventive healthcare.
