The embodiment of precision medicine in the POCT field
Precision medicine is a medical model based on individual-specific data such as genetics, biomarkers, and environmental factors, combined with advanced scientific and technological means (such as gene sequencing, biochip technology, data mining, artificial intelligence, etc.) for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of diseases to be personalized, precise and customized. Compared with the traditional patient treatment mode, it pays more attention to the influence of individual factors, provides more accurate, more effective, and safer treatment programs, and has the advantages of strong guidance, high effectiveness, and high resource utilization rate.
