What Are the Challenges in Individualizing Treatment?
While the benefits of individualized treatment are clear, several challenges need to be addressed:
Resource Intensive: Individualized treatment requires more time, effort, and resources compared to standardized treatment protocols. Data Complexity: Managing and interpreting large volumes of data, such as genetic information and longitudinal health records, can be complex. Ethical Considerations: Ensuring patient privacy and obtaining informed consent for using personal health data are critical ethical concerns. Healthcare Disparities: Access to individualized treatment may be limited by socioeconomic factors, leading to disparities in healthcare outcomes.
