The "Average Patient"


How computing is changing medicine and helping map the human genome
What if we could look at a patient’s entire medical history, plus the data from their smartwatch, plus the records of 100 people most like them in the world to drive insights and predictions about their health?
This idea of prescribing for one—known as Precision Medicine—would provide hindsight analysis, insight into existing conditions and predictive analysis on future conditions based on a patient’s current lifestyle. Precision medicine would allow doctors and medical staff to determine the best course of action and predict how to help patients down the road, or steer them away from potentially hazardous paths.
