Dr. Donna Antoine-LaVigne of Jackson State University and the Jackson Heart Study shares why participant engagement is vital to the success of the Precision Medicine Initiative on August 5, 2015. While significant advances in precision medicine have been made for select cancers, the practice is not currently in use for most diseases.
What Is Precision Medicine:
Far too many diseases do not have a proven means of prevention or effective treatments. We must gain better insights into the biology of these diseases to make a difference for the millions of Americans who suffer from them. Precision medicine is an emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that takes into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person. Many efforts are underway to help make precision medicine the norm rather than the exception. To accelerate the pace, President Obama unveiled the Precision Medicine Initiative (PMI) — a bold new enterprise to revolutionize medicine and generate the scientific evidence needed to move the concept of precision medicine into every day clinical practice.
