It is better if the disease is detected before it occurs. Due to this, timely treatment can also be done and the disease can also be controlled. Preventive precision medicine works on this principle. It not only cures the disease but now it also helps in identifying the risk of the disease in advance. In this, every person’s health is treated according to his body.
In preventive precision medicine, doctors look at why and how a person gets a disease. Doctors do not depend only on general symptoms or reports.

How does the microbiome determine disease?
Dr. Ravi Kesari, in the Department of Internal Medicine at Apollo Spectra Hospital (Bengaluru), explains that according to a study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences in 2024, the microbiome may be associated with many diseases. With its help, it helps in timely identification of diseases. Along with this, now AI is also making the identification of diseases easier.
How are data and AI helping?
Nowadays, health records, medical images and gene related data are being linked together. AI is helping in understanding this data.

Preventive precision medicine is not limited to just identifying the disease, but also helps in choosing the right treatment. Consider it like a disease, Crohn’s disease. By looking at the microbiome of the patients, it can be decided which medicine will be more effective. In this, correct information about the dosage of the medicine is available.
