Horizon Scanning: Teaching Genomics and Personalized Medicine in the Digital Age.

📅 February 1, 2022 👤 Patrinos George P, Mitropoulou Christina 📖 Omics : a journal of integrative biology

🤖 Plain-English Summary

Digital transformation is currently impacting not only health care but also education curricula for medicine and life sciences. This expert review offers an analysis of the bottlenecks that affect and issues that need to be addressed to catalyze genomics and personalized medicine education in the digital era.

🔑 Key Findings

  • The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the deployment of digital technologies such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence in diverse fields of biomedicine.
  • Genomics and related fields of inquiry such as pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine have been making important progress over the past decades.
  • However, the genomics knowledge of health care professionals and other stakeholders in society is not commensurate with the current state of progress in these scientific fields.

💡 Why This Matters

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
