The Living Laboratory for Precision Medicine: Solutions for Clinical Implementation serves as a comprehensive resource for realising the promise of precision medicine. It brings together innovations and solutions across multiple domains - including large population cohorts, artificial intelligence, genomics, phenomics, clinical trials, health economics, and regulation -exemplified through the Living Lab concept. The Living Lab is envisioned as an ecosystem for precision medicine discovery, delivery, and innovation, while also acting as a catalyst for regional economic growth. The term precision medicine has gained traction among clinical, scientific, political, financial, and technological stakeholders as a transformative approach poised to revolutionise healthcare. While several precision medicine-driven advances have been introduced over the past decade, the broader paradigm shift in healthcare delivery and its full population-wide benefits have yet to be fully realised. The current approach to precision medicine primarily focuses on patient stratification, often limiting its application. While this approach has been useful, recent experience suggests that precision medicine should be viewed as a complex, dynamic process with multiple feedback loops, necessitating significant interdisciplinary collaboration and continuous innovation. The Living Laboratory for Precision Medicine: Solutions for Clinical Implementation is the first resource to examine precision medicine through the lens of last-mile solutions, ensuring a broad scope, practical relevance, and cutting-edge insights, while incorporating forward-thinking perspectives.
Beyond transforming patient care, this book reveals how precision medicine can serve as a powerful engine for economic growth - fueling healthier communities, unlocking new efficiencies in healthcare, and driving innovation that reshapes industries, creates high-value jobs, and redefines the future of medicine. Key features, Chapters are written by international experts providing a global perspective of the innovative and cutting-edge advances that are in both early development or advanced conceptual stages, Real-life case studies provide practical advice for clinical application, The Living Lab concept is presented as a last-mile solution for precision medicine.
