The latest science and technology for a personalized health
About Precision Health Podcast
Precision health, also known as precision medicine, is a medical approach that aims to tailor healthcare and medical treatments to individual patients based on their unique genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. The goal of precision health is to provide personalized, targeted treatment plans that are optimized for each patient's specific needs and it can help to identify patients who are at risk for developing certain diseases before symptoms appear, allowing for early intervention and treatment.
In this podcast, we interview scientists, entrepreneurs, and technologists who are making precision health a reality and available to everyone.
