Paving a pathway for large-scale utilization of genomics in precision medicine and population health.

📅 January 1, 2023 👤 Walton Nephi A, Christensen G Bryce 📖 Frontiers in sociology

🤖 Plain-English Summary

Having worked with two large population sequencing initiatives, the separation between the potential for genomics in precision medicine and the current reality have become clear. Our current path has many obstacles that hold us back, leaving preventable deaths in the wake.

🔑 Key Findings

  • To realize this potential requires workflows, policies, and technical architectures that are foreign to most healthcare systems.
  • Many historical processes and regulatory barriers currently impede our progress.
  • The future of precision medicine includes genomic data being widely available at the point of care with systems in place to manage its efficient utilization.

💡 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.
