Abstract

For years, the medical field has been striving to provide personalized healthcare to patients. The traditional methods in practice are not flexible enough to provide personalized treatment to patients. Before prescribing a medication, the typical tailored method has relied on examining physical symptoms and clinical test results. Yet, the recommended therapy is often based on a "one size fits all" methodology, a solution that works for everyone in the population, despite the fact that every person's body responds to treatment differently in a diseased state. There has been a clear change in recent decades from evidence or proof-based medicine to precision medicine, which focuses on a person's traits. The personalized genomic medicine strives to address the inadequacies of traditional personalized medicine approaches, thereby complementing the precision medicine concept of selecting suitable treatment options and increasing patient response. The motive of personalized genomic medicine is to ensure that a person receives the "Right decision and Right therapy at the Right moment." In this paper, we will provide an outline of personalized genomic medicine and explore its potential in transforming the current health-care system in the near future.
