Uncertain Precision: Managing Health Care with Personalized Technologies (EPUB)

Uncertain Precision: Managing Health Care with Personalized Technologies provides an in-depth overview of precision medicine and its relationship with new technology, examining its current scope, benefits, and limitations. While new medical technologies can identify many individual traits that establish diagnoses, predict the course of illness, and recommend therapies, the tools and their results have uncertainties that the health care professional must anticipate and recognize.

Utilizing clinical examples from his own experience and insights from colleagues and other experts, Dr. Reed E. Pyeritz discusses key technologies, such as genome sequencing, artificial intelligence, targeting a patient’s immune cells to cancer, and gene therapies. Timely and compelling, Uncertain Precision is an essential resource for anyone interested in the future of health care and the role of precision medicine in delivering tailored medical solutions.
