Figure 1 | Essential features and goals of a precision medicine system. a | Precision medicine starts with recruitment of individuals into the system. The multidimensional data that provide a comprehensive digital description of individual participants is an essential feature. Curation of the dynamic data in the system, data analysis, and reporting of predicted risk and suggested treatments at the point of care deliver the benefits of precision medicine to health-care providers and patients. Ideally, a precision medicine system should be a smart learning system that integrates an array of data. b | The interrelated purposes of a comprehensive precision medicine system are to facilitate discovery science, establish the information base and infrastructure to make clinical research more efficient, validate research findings, and provide more precise information with the goal of improving health.
