The International Consortium for Personalised Medicine (ICPerMed) published a “Vision Paper” on how the use of personalised medicine approaches will promote “next-generation” medicine in 2030.
The vision entails that medicine needs to become more firmly centred on the individual’s personal characteristics and at the same time be more effective and have an economic value. Next-generation medicine should also provide equitable access for all citizens to the best possible healthcare in the future.
The ICPerMed vision relies on four critical pillars:
- data and technology
- intersectoral synergies
- healthcare system reforms
- education and literacy,
each of which is essential for implementation of personalised medicine in 2030.
