Technology’s role in the advancement of precision medicine has allowed doctors to improve treatments for a variety of conditions. Programs like the National Institute of Health’s “All of Us” research program will bolster the precision medicine movement with its pursuit of gathering data on 1 million or more participants. Multiple government agencies are using APIs and new interoperability rules to make health data more available to help tailor more treatments to patients.
