3Healthcare Industry Report
The world of Precision Medicine is truly transformative and a ground-
breaking approach to healthcare that tailors’ treatments to individual
patients’ genetic, environmental, and lifestyle variations. New devel-
opments such as mutation specific therapies, immunotherapies, and
chimeric antigen receptor – T (CAR–T) cell therapy can increase life
expectancy as well as quality of life
The journey of precision medicine, from the elucidation of Deoxyribo-
nucleic acid (DNA) structure in 1953 to the approval of 26 personal-
ized medicines by the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) in
2023, has been full of key milestones and innovations.
Pharmacogenomics is a key tool in precision medicine, which aims to
improve patient care by matching medications to individual genet-
ics. Recent enhancements in computing power and developments in
quantum computing have given a boost to the development of preci-
sion medicines. This has now led to more than 40% of all approvals in
2023 being precision medicine.
Other innovations such as Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short
Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR), biomarkers, and Next Generation Se-
quencing (NGS) have helped precision medicine to be more effective.
The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has helped uncover hidden
associations in genomic datasets helping clinicians to devise person-
alized treatment plans for their patients.
Key legislation and policies are highlighted. Various countries, includ-
ing the US, the UK, Australia, Canada, India, and Israel are reviewed,
providing a global perspective on the regulatory environment.
Applications of precision medicine in areas such as cancer treatment,
infectious disease control, and chronic disease management leading
to benefits such as increased treatment efficacy, reduced side effects,
and early detection and prevention, are also important.
As precision medicine is generally highly priced, payers are looking at
paying for outcomes and working on value-based agreements. They
are also using machine learning (ML) techniques to identify high-val-
ue patients.
Executive Summary

Precision Medicine: A
New Era in Personalized
Healthcare
Doctors have always
recognized that every
patient is unique and
have tried to tailor their
treatments as best they
can as per the individuals.
You can match a blood
transfusion to a blood type
— that was an important
discovery. What if matching
a cancer cure to our genetic
code was just as easy,
just as standard? What if
figuring out the right dose of
medicine was as simple as
taking our temperature?”

Importance and Significance in Life Sciences
and Healthcare
Study found conventional/legacy drug therapies were
ineffective in 38% of patients on antidepressants, 40% on
asthma drugs, 43% on diabetes drugs, 50% taking arthritis
medication, 70% of patients with Alzheimer’s disease, and
75% taking cancer drugs. An increasing number of current
examples of personalized medicines include mutation
specific therapies,
immunotherapies, and CAR-T cell therapy.
Overview of Precision Medicines
Precision medicine is a cutting-edge approach in
healthcare that customizes medical treatment to the
individual characteristics of each patient. This approach
takes into account variations in genetics, environment, and
lifestyle for each person, which allows for more accurate
diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases.
Precision medicine, also
known as personalized
medicine, is an innovative
approach to disease
prevention and treatment
that considers individual
differences in genes,
environments, and lifestyles.
The goal of precision
medicine is to target the
right treatments to the right
patients at the right time.
This paradigm shift promises
more effective interventions
and reduced adverse effects,
as treatments are tailored
to individual patients rather
than taking a one-size-fits-all
approach.
Overview of Precision Medicine
5Healthcare Industry Report
Key Components
Genomic Sequencing:
By analyzing a patient’s genetic makeup,
healthcare providers can identify genetic
mutations and variations that may
contribute to disease. This is particularly
useful in oncology, where targeted
therapies can be developed to treat
specific types of cancer based on their
genetic profiles.
Personalized Treatment Plans:
Precision medicine aims to tailor
treatments to individual patients rather
than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
This can involve selecting the most
effective medications and dosages based
on genetic information, reducing the
likelihood of adverse drug reactions and
improving outcomes.
Advanced Technologies:
The integration of artificial intelligence
(AI) and ML along with Big Data in
precision medicine helps analyze large
datasets to uncover patterns and make
predictions about treatment responses.
These technologies enhance the ability
to provide precise and effective medical
care.
Biomarker Identification:
Biomarkers are measurable indicators
of a biological condition or state. In
precision medicine, biomarkers are
used to predict disease risk, diagnose
conditions early, and monitor treatment
effectiveness. Accurate biomarker
measurement is crucial for developing
targeted therapies and monitoring
disease progression.
Individualization: Personalized medicine
advocates for treatments based on a
person’s genetic makeup, considering
the unique variations in their genome.
This personalized method acknowledges
that while most genetic variations do
not influence well-being, they can
greatly affect an individual’s health when
combined with environmental factors and
lifestyle behaviors.
The two key principles of personalized medicine are as follows:
Precision: Utilizing advanced technologies,
such as genome sequencing, personalized
medicine can identify specific DNA
mutations that are linked to diseases.
This enables more precise diagnosis
and treatment targeted at these specific
mutations.
These principles combined greatly
reduce the trial-and-error inefficiencies,
allowing healthcare professionals to better
understand disease and address it.
6Healthcare Industry Report
Pharmacogenomics is the
study of the relationship
between genetic variations
and how our body responds
to medications. Under this,
genomic information is used
to study individual responses
to drugs. When a gene
variant is associated with
a particular drug response
in a patient, there is the
potential for making clinical
decisions based on genetics
by adjusting the dosage or
choosing a different drug. For
example, scientists assess
gene variants affecting an
individual’s drug response
the same way they assess
gene variants associated
with diseases: by identifying
genetic loci associated with
known drug responses and
then testing individuals
whose response is unknown.
Overview of
Precision Medicine
Cancer Treatment
Precision oncology uses genetic information to identify
specific mutations in cancer cells, allowing for the
development of targeted therapies that are more effective
and have fewer side effects compared to traditional
treatments.
Infectious Disease Control
Genome sequencing helps in identifying and tracking
pathogens dauring outbreaks, leading to faster and more
accurate public health responses.
Chronic Disease Management
Personalized treatment plans based on genetic, lifestyle,
and environmental factors improve the management of
chronic conditions such as cardiovascular diseases.
Applications
Benefits
• Increased Treatment Efficacy: Tailoring treatments to individual genetic profiles increase
the likelihood of successful outcomes. For example, CAR-T cell therapy, developed by ImmunoAct
in collaboration with IIT Bombay and Tata Memorial Hospital, has been administered to 15 patients
in India, with three achieving successful cancer remission.
• Reduced Side Effects: Precision medicine minimizes adverse reactions by selecting the most
appropriate medications and dosages. For example, in CAR-T cell therapy side-effects depends,
with about 30% to 60% of patients experiences some degree of cytokine release syndrome. This
condition can vary in severity: from mild cases, where patients may only experience a fever for a
day, to severe cases that can lead to significant illness and require intensive care unit admission.
• Early Detection and Prevention: Genetic screening and biomarker analysis enable early
detection of diseases, allowing for timely intervention and prevention strategies.

Biomarkers
Next Generation Sequencing
Biomarkers are measurable indicators used to evaluate biological
processes, disease states, and responses to treatments. They are
integral to precision medicine across various medical fields.
• Role in Precision Medicine : Biomarkers are used to identify
specific diseases, monitor disease progression, and evaluate
treatment efficacy. They are vital in oncology, where they can help
distinguish between different types of cancer and guide targeted
therapy.
• Epigenetic Biomarkers : These biomarkers provide insights
into gene expression influenced by environmental and social
factors. They are crucial for understanding disease prediction and
progression, offering a more comprehensive view of an individual’s
health.
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized genomic
research and clinical practice. It allows for comprehensive analysis of
genetic information, which is pivotal in precision medicine.
• Applications : NGS can sequence entire genomes or specific
targeted regions, analyze epigenetic factors, and study microbial
populations. This technology is essential for identifying genetic
mutations, understanding disease mechanisms, and developing
targeted therapies.
• Wearable and Implantable Biosensors : Advancements in
microelectronics and electrochemical sensing have led to the
development of biosensors that generate signals proportional to
the concentration of analytes. For instance, glucose is an ‘analyte’ in
a biosensor designed to detect glucose. These devices are used for
disease detection, chronic disease management, drug discovery,
and health monitoring.
Naeiry highlighted the
importance of genomic
data, stating that you
must be “Able to build
causality for relation
rather than predictive for
relation. Without genomic
component it is hard to
establish causality. It is like
a car with no wheels.”

Impact of AI and ML
Big Data and AI in Precision Medicine
In the early 2000s, the rise of big data technologies enabled the stor-
age and processing of massive amounts of healthcare data from di-
verse sources. This paved the way for the application of AI techniques,
like ML, to extract insights and patterns from these large datasets. The
convergence of AI and precision medicine is revolutionizing health-
care. Precision medicine methods identify unique patient phenotypes
and characteristics to enable more personalized diagnosis, risk pre-
diction, and treatment planning.
AI and big data analytics are playing a crucial role in this transfor-
mation. By leveraging sophisticated computational techniques, AI can
extract insights from diverse data sources including genomics, clini-
cal history, medical imaging, and digital health indicators. This allows
for the integration of multimodal data to generate a comprehensive
understanding of individual patient profiles.
• Big Data: The first step involves the collection and preparation of
big data. This term refers to datasets that are so large and com-
plex that they require advanced analytics tools and technologies
for processing. These datasets, which may include genetic pro-
files, lifestyle information, and medical histories, are often gener-
ated at high speeds and require prompt processing. The ability to
handle and analyze such data is crucial in precision medicine, as
it enables the selection of more effective treatments tailored to
individual patients.
• Leveraging AI: The second step is where AI takes center stage.
AI has the capability to process vast amounts of real-time data,
identify patterns, and generate valuable insights. In the context of
precision medicine, AI can interpret extensive genomic datasets.
Utilizing ML and deep learning techniques, AI can uncover hidden
associations within these datasets. Consequently, clinicians are
empowered to devise genome-informed treatment plans for their
patients, enhancing the effectiveness of medical interventions.
Immuneel Therapeutics used AI to ensure closed automated GMP
production in deciding the best kind of starting material, the best

the analysis of pangenomes – new representations of DNA sequences
that capture population diversityata, enabling more precise and
individualized genetic insights.
• Improved Personalization : By moving beyond traditional
reference genomes, quantum computing can offer more tailored
and accurate genetic information, leading to better-personalized
medical treatments.
• Pathogen Tracking : The same technologies can improve the
tracking and management of pathogens, aiding in more effective
outbreak responses and public health strategies.
For example - Researchers are pioneering a project that combines
quantum computing with genomics to address one of the most
complex problems in genomic science: analyzing datasets of
pangenomes for large populations. This collaboration, involving the
University of Cambridge, the Wellcome Sanger Institute, and EMBL-EBI,
has received up to US$ 3.5 million in funding through the Wellcome
Leap Q4Bio Challenge Program.
Key Points
Project Goal: Develop quantum
computing algorithms to
enhance the creation and
analysis of pangenomes,
which are comprehensive
representations of genetic
diversity in populations.
Methodology: The project aims
to use quantum computing to
speed up processes related
to mapping genetic data
onto sequence graphs and
navigating these graphs
efficiently.
Impact: This advancement
could significantly benefit
personalized medicine by
providing more accurate
insights into individual genetic
makeups compared to the
traditional reference genome. It
also has potential applications
in tracking and managing
pathogen outbreaks.

Access and Reimbursement in
Precision Medicine
05
While CAR-T cells have proven to be successful and useful, there are
still some obstacles to overcome. These include issues related to the
patient, such as the scarcity of treatment facilities and additional
expenses like travel, accommodation, and food. On the other hand,
providers face challenges related to logistics, allocation of staff time,
resource limitations, and uncertainties around reimbursement.
One way that is being explored to overcome this issue is through the
use of on-site manufacture of CAR-T cells. This may reduce the costs
of genetic engineering and expansion. However, there are still many
challenges and other costs, including patient evaluation, selection,
conditioning, and post-treatment recovery. There are also many other
hidden costs in setting up and maintaining a CAR-T cell manufacturing
facility, including facility costs, hidden staffing costs, and release
testing.
However, countries with lower GDP per capita have difficulty accessing
conventional commercial products; therefore, various strategies have
been adopted to overcome this barrier.
Focus on Payment for Outcomes Countries are looking at
innovative agreements

Key Features
Benefits
Solutions
• Uses ML to identify high-value patients and enhance clini-
cal decision-making.
• Aligns reimbursement levels with data-driven predictions.
• Incentivize clinical use of therapies based on real-world
evidence (RWE).
• Encourages scalable models adaptable to stakeholder
needs.
• Improved patient outcomes through personalized care.
• Increased affordability for payers, providers, and patients.
• Sustained innovation by manufacturers.
• Generation of valuable real-world data to further refine
precision medicine approaches.
• Several approaches have been suggested to overcome the obstacles to CAR-T therapy. These encom-
pass enhancing CAR-T production, involving community oncologists, increasing the number of centers
providing CAR-T treatment, and addressing financial matters such as the pricing of CAR-T cells, reim-
bursement, and personal expenses. However, extending academic CAR-T cell production to all locations
and hospitals may not necessarily resolve these issues due to hidden costs and quality variability.
• Regarding financial reimbursement, it’s crucial to persuade funders to conduct a thorough long-term
cost-effectiveness analysis. This is because the efficacy of CAR-T cells is best illustrated by the pro-
longed remission observed in long-term survivors.
• Despite these efforts, the cost of CAR-T cell therapies remains high. Therefore, cost-sharing among
various payers is essential for affording CAR-T treatments. Governments can support patients through
hospital subsidies, product cost coverage, and grants. Insurance companies can help with hospi-
tal stays, critical illness, and cell therapy product coverage. Pharmaceutical companies that produce
CAR-T cells can contribute through patient assistance programs and subsidies. Additionally, philan-
thropic organizations can offer support through program funding and crowdfunding for individual pa-
tients.
• In terms of access to precision medicine, it’s important to note that these therapies are becoming
increasingly available as our understanding of diseases at the molecular level improves. This allows
for more targeted and effective treatments. However, access to these therapies can be limited owing
to factors such as cost, availability of technology, and the need for specialized care. Efforts are being
made to increase access to precision medicine through policy changes, technological advancements,
and initiatives aimed at reducing costs. For example, telemedicine is being used to reach patients in
remote areas and new payment models are being explored to make these therapies more affordable.
Additionally, research and development in the field of precision medicine is ongoing, with the aim of
discovering new therapies and improving existing ones.
