Abstract:
The promise of integrating Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and genetic data for precision medicine has largely fallen short due to its omission of environmental context over time. Post-genomic data can bridge this gap by capturing the real-time dynamic relationship between underlying genetics and the environment. This perspective highlights the pivotal role of integrating EMR and post-genomics for personalized health, reflecting on lessons from past efforts, and outlining a roadmap of challenges and opportunities that must be addressed to realize the potential of precision medicine.
