The future of personalized medicine

A glimpse into the future of personalized medicine. In pursuit of improving quality of life.

You can upgrade your IT. You can rewrite your processes. But you won't change your business if you can't change your people—how they think, how they work together and how they use the resources around them.

Changing the culture of your company isn't easy. It takes time, effort and a very specific kind of leadership. To learn more about it, we spoke to IBM's Senior Vice President Linda Sanford and General Manager Ross Mauri.

A house that calls the doctor? A pill based on your DNA? The metamorphosis of healthcare is taking place. Knowledge gained from the integration of clinical and biomedical data is driving powerful analytics. The future of medicine will mean using this information to deliver individualized patient care.

The future of medicine will allow patients to take control of their own healthcare outcomes, benefit from treatments uniquely tailored to their physiologies and gain more flexibility in when, where and how they seek care.

We have a vision for the future of healthcare and are developing innovative ideas, like the "special pill" for personalized medicine, and "smart house" for pre-onset disease management.

IBM is at the forefront, working hand-in-hand with IBM Business Partners and clients, experts in medicine, science, business and academia, to advance the discovery of new treatments and diagnostic tools. We are applying capabilities in genomics, telemetry, regenerative medicine and supercomputing to fuel breakthrough discoveries, laying the groundwork for practical solutions that can work in our everyday lives.
