  • Introduction: Personal medicine or personalized medicine means providing medical services (health, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care) tailored to a person's genetics.
  • Methods: In this model, for example, the physician, aware of the information contained in the person's genome, can prescribe an effective drug (with minimal side effects) in the right dose and order the appropriate lifestyle changes and diet ( Environment) to provide prevention and treatment of diseases and change traits. Therefore, this model of medicine can also be called genomic medicine. "Just as each person chooses the right shoe for their foot, the medical person who will be the new form of medicine in the future will allow the person to receive the medical service tailored to their genetics."
  • Results: From 2005 onwards, following advances in microwave technology, computer science, and statistics, it became possible to determine a person's genotype in all known mutations in a short time and at a low cost, and to create a genetic profile for the individual. And their pervasiveness is the basis of personal medicine, which allows a person to receive medical services commensurate with their genetics.
  • Conclusion: In summary, each person's genome can provide him or her with information about the following: Risk of disease Is a person carrying genes that may cause certain traits in their children? How does a person respond to medications, is he or she allergic to certain medications? Does a person's genetics make him or her prone to certain traits: lactose intolerance, adaptation to a particular diet, predisposition to certain sports activities
