Genomics and patient care: Evolving roles and scopes of practice for healthcare professionals

In the rapidly advancing realm of precision medicine, healthcare professionals (HCPs) are witnessing a transformative shift in their roles. This approach, which tailors treatment to the individual's genetic makeup, lifestyle, and environment, demands a new set of skills and knowledge from HCPs – including physicians, nurses, and pharmacists. They are now at the forefront of integrating complex genetic information into patient care, navigating ethical dilemmas, and maintaining an up-to-date understanding of technological innovations. This blog post explores how precision medicine is reshaping the responsibilities and expertise of HCPs, and what this means for patient care.

From observation to innovation: Natural history studies in the era of AI

Natural history studies play a pivotal role in advancing our knowledge of diseases. These observational studies, which track the progression of diseases in their natural state without medical intervention, are particularly crucial in the realm of rare disease research. They serve as fundamental benchmarks against which the effectiveness of new treatments can be measured. In conducting these studies, extensive data is collected over an individual's lifetime, including initial diagnosis, clinical observations, and patient insights on quality of life. This rich tapestry of information provides a deep and nuanced understanding of how a disease progresses and its impact on those affected.
