The goal of precision medicine is to optimize disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment decision-making through the assimilation and analysis of multiple types of data including both genotypic (DNA variation) and phenotypic measures (traditional clinical biomarkers, gene expression, and metabolite profile). Successful integration of new data and analytical methods will pivot on a robust and secure clinical infrastructure, electronic medical records and digital health technologies. Precision medicine may be integrated into public health surveillance, preventive care, and diagnosis. This chapter provides an overview and examples to date that have contributed to the rise of precision medicine and highlight areas where effort is needed to realize the full potential of these applications.
