Vector for personalized medicine: from practice implementation to expected results

Abstract

Background. An unprecedented convergence of medical knowledge, technology and data science is revolutionising patient care. Personalization in the prevention and treatment of diseases is an inevitable vector of development of the healthcare system, which is already being followed by many developed countries: the USA, Great Britain, Germany, China, Turkey, etc. There is a paradigm shift in the world of a vertical treatment-oriented model of medical care to a matrix network structure aimed at the patient. In this model, the patient is considered as a partner in choosing a personalized treatment plan, the purpose of which is to maintain and increase the duration and quality of life. The concept of personalized medicine provides for the transition from universal solutions "for many" to the provision of medical care "for everyone", taking into account the individual needs of patients.

Material and methods. At the session "Vector for personalized medicine: from implementation into practice to expected results" during the IX International Congress "Orgzdrav-2021. Effective management in healthcare", leading industry experts and international experts discussed the prospects for the introduction of personalized medicine in Russia, and also answered questions whether this is a trend of the future or the present; what changes are needed in our healthcare for the introduction of personalized medicine; is the introduction of such a model economically justified for Russian healthcare?

Results. 4 reports covering the structural blocks of personalized medicine and the application of real world data were presented at the session, also the pharma-coeconomical advantages of genetic profiling in oncology were discussed with examples of world experience. Personalized healthcare is not only about treating and preventing disease for individual patients. Personalized medicine can deliver efficiencies that will keep healthcare systems sustainable in the face of rising costs.

Keywords:personalized healthcare, genomic profiling, digital medicine, real world data, real world evidence
