Precision Medicine

The largest gift in the cancer center's history will fund a new building and an endowed scientific leader to enhance the development of technology-enabled precision therapies.

The precision medicine initiative will use real-world data from the Learning Health Network for clinical validation and refinement of cancer risk prediction models.

Clinicians can now order tests and access discrete biomarkers within the patient's electronic health record, rather than rely on PDF-based genetic testing results.

The funding will help launch four telehealth research centers that will focus on developing programs to reduce burdens on cancer patients, families and caregivers.

Care, data and connectivity as well as what Indonesia can learn from other nations to advance digital transformation in healthcare will be major themes at the HIMSS22 Asia-Pacific Conference happening from 26-29 September in Bali, Indonesia.

A new large-scale human genome sequencing project aims to enroll one million diverse, consenting Mount Sinai patients.

With pharmacogenomics now common in primary care, and an array of specialties using genetics, Dr. Joel Diamond of 2bPrecise says precision medicine is ready for prime time.

"The Department of Justice is committed to prosecuting people who abuse our healthcare system and exploit telemedicine technologies in fraud and bribery schemes," says assistant AG.

The electronic health record giant continues to expand its roster of genomic and precision medicine collaborators.

Myriad Genetics is working with Epic to integrate its genetic test technology into the electronic health records used by more than 600,000 physicians.
