Amid the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, a sudden spike in daily cases along with the fear of new Omicron variant, redifusionhealthcare released a report named 'Personalized Medicine: A New Mantra For Healthcare.'

The report outlined the various aspects related to healthcare like what does the future hold, several therapies, gene editing the effect of personalised medicine on our lives etc. 

"Over the years, with the development of medical science and the relatively recent applications of cutting-edge technology, progress has been made. That progress is now on the cusp of a breakthrough, which will truly revolutionise the nature of healthcare. Artificial Intelligence and genetic sequencing have now opened up a new world – the world of personalised medicine," the report mentioned. 

Presently, artificial intelligence analysing huge amounts of data and genetic sequencing identifying specific genetic markers of disease, we can now pre-empt disease instead of just reacting to it. It is now potentially possible to predict future disease in a healthy individual and take proactive steps to prevent it from happening at all, it said. 

"Heart disease, diabetes and cancer could be anticipated well in advance and steps could be taken to avoid them. Vital health signs could be constantly monitored so that patients could be prescribed tailored and accurate doses for effective and side-effect free recovery. The wonders of Personalized Medicine are essentially threefold: Analyse, Anticipate and Personalise," the report mentioned. 

Hormone therapy:

Talking about Hormone therapy, the report said that hormones such as oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid are present in all individuals in specific amounts. If any individual falls outside of the normal range for any of these and other hormones, their treatment must be tailored according to the patient’s blood results and symptoms. 

"Treatments often vary depending on various factors and patients find it difficult to get the exact treatment which is best for them. This is where Personalized Medicine has an ability to excel since it can quickly and effectively devise special treatment methods for hormonal imbalance patients," according to the report. 

Gene editing:  

Meanwhile, the report also mentioned gene editing and said that while it is easy now to identify genes responsible for rare diseases like muscular dystrophy or Parkinson’s disease, it is becoming more possible to identify certain cancer markers or even things like heart disease. In addition to warning us in advance of this potential threat, using a gene-editing tool called CRISPR, we can now repair or remove genetic material within our cells. 

"It is still early in development, but the future possibilities could mean that we could permanently be rid of some extremely malignant diseases without having to suffer from them personalized medicine could identify gene markers and edit them out, without even requiring us to change our lifestyles or take any medication," it read.
