Since any disease is a dynamic process, it is crucial to continuously track all variables contributing to the severity and resolution of the condition. Historically, tracking an individual’s vital signs requires them to be in a medical facility.
With synthetic medicine, healthcare synthesizes the profile of a patient and disease based on digital information collected from any individual at any location through mobile devices and wearable sensors. This approach, integrated with therapeutic interventions and other datasets, can help doctors to precisely monitor and even predict a patient’s disease trajectory.
In the future, personal and clinical data will be anonymized and incorporated into a data repository, potentially a digital avatar, that will precisely guide doctors to prescribe the right medical intervention and optimize decision-making for patients with similar conditions. This is precision medicine.

The combination of digital advances, precision medicine and synthetic biology are the key drivers of patient-centric and personalized medicine. Having data continuously updated and contextualized with attributes from similar patients and population health analytics is revolutionizing medicine.
The patient will be at the center of all activities by healthcare providers and institutions, and they will be empowered to know about their disease and to become part of the healthcare solution.
