Precision medicine
Precision medicine tailors medical treatments to individual patient characteristics, considering genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Also known as personalized medicine, the approach aims to optimize efficacy and minimize side effects while improving patient outcomes through targeted therapies and personalized care plans rather than the one-size-fits-all models.
