In the last 10 years, medical capabilities have advanced. Personalized medicine, tailoring medical treatments and interventions to individual patients based on their unique genetic makeup, lifestyle factors and environmental influences, is the standard of care.

By analyzing a wide range of data, AI systems can generate personalized recommendations to include not only medications but additional screening testing and lifestyle modifications to promote overall wellness.
