Personalized medicine is a medical procedure that divides patients into different groups with medical decisions, practices, interventions and products being tailored to the individual patient placed on their concluded response or risk of disease. The terms like personalized medicine, precision medicine, stratified medicine and P4 medicine are used interchangeably. In personalized medicine, diagnostic testing is generally employed for choosing appropriate and optimal therapies based on the context of a patient’s genetic content or cellular analysis. The use of genetic informatics has played a key role in certain manner of personalized medicine (e.g. pharmacogenomics) and term was first coined in the context of genetics, though it has since broadened to encompass all sorts of personalization measures.
