Medicine can move from a reactive to a proactive discipline over future decadeâ??a discipline that's predictive, personalized, preventive and participatory (P4). P4 medicine is fueled by systems approaches to sickness, rising technologies and analytical tools. Recent advances in genetics have led to the fast and comparatively cheap assortment of patient molecular information as well as multiple kinds of omics information. The combination of this information with clinical measurements has the potential to impact on our understanding of the molecular basis of illness and on disease management. a) The use of combined data (genetics, or otherwise) about a person to predict treatment response and thereby to help improve his health. b) The use of combined information (genetics, or otherwise) about a person to predict illness prognosis or treatment response and thereby improve that personâ??s health. c) The use of combined data (genetics, or otherwise) about a person to predict illness condition, illness prognosis or treatment response and thereby improve that personâ??s health Some of the foremost vital advantages include: 1) Higher medication choice. 2) Safer dosing choices. 3) Enhancements in drug development. Systems medicine is an approach to understand illness through an integration of huge patient datasets. It offers the chance for personalized ways for healthcare through the improvement of a brand new taxonomy of illness. The application of P4 medicine will be discussed in this study.
