What are the Challenges of Implementing Precision Medicine in Epidemiology?
Despite its promise, precision medicine faces several challenges:
Data Privacy: Ensuring the confidentiality and security of sensitive genetic and health information. Data Integration: Combining data from diverse sources, including genomic, environmental, and clinical data. Equity: Addressing disparities in access to precision medicine technologies and treatments. Regulatory Issues: Navigating the complex regulatory landscape for genetic testing and personalized treatments. Cost: Managing the high costs associated with genetic testing and targeted therapies.
