Personalized Medicine

We share a collection of 8 major ones below, ordered from the most practical and promising to the least ones.

From portable genome sequencers until genetic tests revealing distant relations with Thomas Jefferson, genomics represents a fascinatingly innovative area of healthcare. As the price of genome sequencing has been in free fall for years, the start-up scene is bursting from transformative power. Let’s look at some of the most amazing genomics companies!

Gene therapy can potentially cure cancer, genetic defects or infectious diseases, but the million-dollar pricetags are a major problem. We have reason for optimism.

Dante Labs sent me their Full DNA whole genome sequencing package, and I went through a roller-coaster of feelings: I was excited to know every secret of my DNA, but I was afraid of getting to know my hereditary cancer risks and worried what else I might find. As in my case, (scientific) curiosity usually overrides fear, I jumped into the unknown and I’m eager to share my results here.

If we used the existing digital health arsenal to its full potential, obesity could be efficiently dealt with. Here is how.

3D Printing in Medicine: in recent years 3D printing in medicine took a massive leap. Check out our analysis of where this exciting field stands today!

Specifically trained GPTs, like CRISPR GPT, won’t be good in general chat but will excel in analyzing DNA, designing personalized nutrition. or helping surgical planning.

The integration of digital health and AI is reshaping the way medical specialties operate. While every field will benefit from these innovations, certain specialties are poised to excel. As technology enables early detection, improved diagnostics, and personalized treatments, the best medical specialties emerge as frontrunners in this transformative era. Let’s explore our top picks for the specialties that will particularly thrive in the era of digital health and AI.

We listed devices and technologies with the promise of curing cancer or transforming it into a manageable chronic disease.

Drugs and Digital Therapeutics are competing comrades, bringing better results together. However, healing with apps is a cultural shock we need to get used to.

Health equity through digital health and AI is not a technological matter, but a socioeconomic one that needs to be addressed accordingly.

A brilliant technology for diabetes management which sadly comes with nightmarish regulatory barriers

I tried the pathway analysis DNA test by 3×4 Genetics. This method offers a lot if you are looking for results you can actually use in health/disease management.

Genome sequencing does definitely not equal with fortune telling: it cannot predict how long you will live or what your body mass index will look like. However, it can tell you a lot about your sensitivity to drugs, your family history or whether you are a carrier of monogenic conditions.
