Personal Medicine
Recent developments in a number of molecular profiling technologies, including proteomic profiling, metabolomic analysis,
and genomic/genetic testing allow the development of personalized medicine and predictive medicine,
which is the combination of comprehensive molecular testing with proactive, personalized preventive medicine.
It is hoped that personalized medicine will allow health care providers to focus their attention on factors specific to an individual patient
to provide individualized care. However, some question whether personalized medicine represents a true departure from traditional medical practice
or is an evolutionary transition based on the latest technology.
