The Living Laboratory for Precision Medicine: Solutions for Clinical Implementation provides a comprehensive resource on precision medicine through a convergence of innovation and solutions across multiple domains, including large population cohorts, artificial intelligence, genomics, phenomics, clinical trials, health economics and regulation exemplified by the living lab concept. This book is the first to look at precision medicine through the lens of last-mile solutions which make it broad in scope, practically relevant, and cutting-edge. The book explores the use of precision medicine to stimulate regional economic growth through a healthier population, savings on healthcare, and using innovation as a driver of economic development. The term precision medicine has been popularized by clinical, scientific, political, financial and technological interests as the biggest innovation to revolutionize healthcare. While over the past decade a few precision medicine-based solutions have come to fruition, the transformative leap in healthcare delivery and population benefit is yet to be realized. Current focus on precision medicine primarily focuses on patient stratification which constrains it to either a single disease area, a few sub-disciplines, or using a limited set of genomic technologies. While useful, experience over the last few years indicates precision medicine needs to be considered as a complex process with multiple feedback loops requiring significant interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation.
