The power of multimodal data for healthcare innovation
From the Illumina Genomics Forum, 2022
“Multimodal longitudinal clinical genomic data are a critical asset for discovery and innovation.”
Dr. Lincoln Nadauld spoke at the Illumina Genomics Forum in San Diego on September 29, 2022, about the power of multimodal data for healthcare innovation. His speech highlighted the implementation of precision health to improve outcomes in a health system and multimodal longitudinal clinical genomic data for discovery and innovation.
The advancements that have been made in precision medicine have been very significant in the world of healthcare. The application of precision medicine has ultimately improved patient outcomes in targeted therapies for patients with advanced cancer and has achieved economic gains.
The Former U.S. President, Barack Obama, participated in the inaugural Illumina Genomics Forum to discuss the continued need for equity, accessibility, and smarter healthcare to improve the human condition. Here with Dr. Lincoln Nadauld, Culmination’s President and CEO.
The practice of applying precision medicine to healthcare settings has proved to yield valuable results regarding patient care. These results include increased survival time in patients as well as overall lower costs while minimizing severe side effects and ineffective regimens of chemotherapy. Although there are some challenges that have created obstacles to adoption such as questions about clinical utility, inconsistent reimbursement for molecular diagnostics, and limited access to targeted therapies, providers have invested in precision medicine programs in a search for innovative care process models to deliver improved patient outcomes and achieve economic gains. Innovative solutions to these challenges have been supported in order to access novel therapies to benefit patients and ultimately encourage the broader clinical adoption of precision medicine practices.
The Illumina Genomics Forum invited experts in genomics and population precision medicine from all over the world to discuss the use of genomics to advance precision health.
