Alex D'souzaManaging Editoreditor@healthcaretechoutlook.comIn 2018, a treatment called `Milasen' was developed by Boston Children's Hospital for an eight-year-old girl named Mila Makovec diagnosed with Batten disease, a rare and fatal inherited disorder of the nervous system. It is considered the first-ever drug to be designed for an individual patient and took only ten months to go from idea to injection. Within a few months, after they began infusing the drug, improvements in Mila's condition was visible. This is a record-breaking journey in the typical drug development process and illustrates the potential of precision medicine to be a life-saving treatment that can help countless individuals suffering from incurable diseases. Breaking the one-size-fits-all mold of traditional healthcare solutions, precision medicine promises a customized approach that combines a deep understanding of each person and population groups at the genetic or cellular level with a vast knowledge of treatment options. Precision medicine is already closely observed for its potential in oncology applications, and it now holds promise in treating COVID-19 as researchers have found that various factors, including medical conditions and age, are linked to the recovery rate of the disease. A critical yet impeding component of precision medicine is data, massive data actually, that needs to be collected and studied. While till now, the technology limitations had hindered the progress in the field of precision medicine, the development of advanced AI and big data tools has opened up new possibilities and is expected to witness disruptive trends in coming years.
