Summary
This study explores personalized medicine advances using a Personalized Decision Support System (PDSS). PDSS integrates genomic data and biomarkers for tailored treatments in cardiovascular diseases and type-1 diabetes.
Area of Science:
- Medical Informatics
- Genomics
- Personalized Medicine
Background:
- The evolution of medical practice towards individualized patient care.
- The increasing integration of complex biological and lifestyle data in clinical decision-making.
- The need for advanced systems to process diverse patient information for tailored treatments.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present advancements in medicine through the application of a Personalized Decision Support System (PDSS).
- To analyze the integration of Decision Support Systems (DSS) with genomic information and biomarkers for personalized outcomes.
- To explore the application of PDSS in managing Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) and Type-1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM).
Main Methods:
- Examination of Decision Support System (DSS) models combined with genomic data and biomarkers.
- Incorporation of Artificial Intelligence Modules (AIM) within DSS.
- Utilizing parameters from genes, biomarkers, nutrition, lifestyle, and biological measurements to feed the DSS.
Main Results:
- Demonstration of personalized results for individual patients.
- Analysis of PDSS applications in Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) and Type-1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM).
- Generation of personalized advice, medication, and treatment recommendations.
Conclusions:
- Personalized Decision Support Systems (PDSS) represent a significant advancement in personalized medicine.
- The integration of diverse data sources with AI enhances the efficacy of DSS for chronic disease management.
- PDSS offers a pathway to optimized, individualized patient care strategies.

02:50Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

01:20Integrated Healthcare System
An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

01:29Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

01:30Methods of Documentation VII: EMR
Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare settings,...
