Health care represents a significant financial burden for any society and the most critical aspect personally especially for an aging population. These principles are at the center of the UN SDG-3 ‘Good Health and Well Being’. The future of medicine relies on personalized individualized approaches to health care. Each one of us has a different genetic makeup, lifestyle, diet, microbiome, etc. All these factors greatly impact our health and disease susceptibility and progression. It is therefore only natural that our health care, both preventive and acute, be based on these factors. This will in no doubt improve health care effectiveness and decrease disease burden. However, personalized medicine (PM) relies on deep phenotyping of individuals using muti-omics approaches to define the different features that affect ones health. These includes genomics through sequencing of the genome, transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics, microbiome sequencing, etc. Such approach tend to be costly thus decreasing accessibility globally. As the technologies mature this will bring costs down thus increasing access globally. Another major challenge to applying PM widely is the adoption by practicing clinician given the novelty of the technologies. Our goal in this panel is to discuss these aspects of PM and begin to forge a path to apply PM globally in the context of SDG-3.
