The Era of Genomics

Medicine is rapidly changing – for the better. A major megatrend is that you can expect to have much more personalized medical care – tailored just for you - in the years to come. Genomics for example will allow your doctor to predict what diseases will occur in your future and then prescribe a plan of action to prevent you from developing them.

Megatrends in Medicine

The medical megatrends coming over the next five to fifteen years include drugs with specific targets to attack with fewer side effects, X-rays that take previously undreamed of pictures of our anatomy and even image your cells metabolic function, operations done with less invasive techniques and some done by robots, and devices that can control heart rhythm or even pump for it.

Prediction and Prevention

Genomics will improve your doctor’s ability to diagnose disease and plan a specific approach just for you – personalized or custom tailored medicine. Your physician will also be able to predict if your cancer is likely to recur after treatment and, if so, what the best approach to cure will be.
