In Precision Medicine, AI and the Science of Personalized Healthcare, Harvard Business School senior researcher and the former CEO of a leading medication therapy optimization company, DecisionRx, James Wallace, walks you through an original and eye-opening discussion of how the latest precision medicine technology is upending healthcare as we know it. You’ll learn about how issues surrounding healthcare cost, access, and outcomes are being addressed and solved with precision medicine, and how people from all walks of life can access these extraordinary benefits.

The book details how personalized treatments―those based on a patient’s genetic, environmental, and lifestyle attributes―can do far more than traditional medicine to treat and cure genetic disorders and chronic illnesses, as well as mitigating the impact of treatment inefficiencies. It also explains how precision medicine lowers healthcare costs for patients and providers while improving outcomes for everyone.

Precision Medicine, AI and the Science of Personalized Healthcare tackles the triple crisis of cost, access, and quality that plagues the healthcare system in the United States. It uses a compelling blend of human stories to make a complicated and technical topic easily approachable and relatable. By the end of the book, you’ll discover a convincing and well-researched argument for how the precision medicine movement can transform the healthcare system and the lives of the patients and professionals who navigate it every day.

An essential read for healthcare, technology, and business professionals grappling with the skyrocketing costs of patient care, Precision Medicine, AI and the Science of Personalized Healthcare will also prove invaluable for patients frustrated by the current―and less effective―“one-size-fits-all” approach to medicine.
