註釋The Future of Precision Medicine in Australia explores the current trends in precision medicine technologies and the role that broader implementation of precision medicine capabilities may play in the Australian context.Recent technological advances allow the determination of a wide range of data about an individual's genetic and biochemical make-up, as formed by their genes, environment and lifestyle. These advances can and do affect the clinical management of a person's health and disease. The ability to analyse disease in terms of an individual's make-up, when compared with and studied alongside aggregated clinical and laboratory data from healthy and diseased populations, is termed 'precision' or 'personalised' medicine. Although medicine has always had personal and predictive aspects, precision medicine allows health and disease to be viewed at an increasingly fine-grained resolution, attuned to the complexities of both the biology of each individual and variation within the population.
