The Liver Meeting 2019-From Discovery Science to Clinical Care: Where Do We Want to Go?

From Discovery Science to Clinical Care: Where Do We Want to Go?

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses the advancements and challenges in precision medicine for hepatology. Success stories include genetic discoveries related to liver diseases, predictive algorithms, and pharmacogenomics. Challenges lie in the sporadic nature of these successes, the need for more systematic approaches, and the high cost and data intensity of studies. The integration of genomic data with electronic health records is crucial for personalized patient care. The utilization of artificial intelligence is key to managing the vast amount of data in precision medicine. The potential benefits of precision medicine include earlier detection, personalized treatment, and cost savings. The future of medicine will likely involve genetic testing, AI-driven decision-making, and improved patient outcomes. The ultimate goal is to improve quality of life and reduce costs through precision medicine interventions.
