Building the digital patient: considerations for the next decade
Authors: C. Donald Combs
Abstract
Advancing medical practice to the level of personalized patient care is not a fanciful notion. Nor is it improbable or exaggerated. It is a credible end-state for medical M&S in the mid-term (10-15 years) future. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the research and infrastructure that is needed to advance personalized patient care using the digital human and its ability to represent accurately the human physiome and diseaseome in real time for patient care, education, research and development. At the core of this endeavor to facilitating personalized healthcare is the primary beneficiary--the patient. The research agenda outlined in this paper is a call to action to ensure and compel the full development of a robust digital patient to enable personalized healthcare and, in the aggregate, more effective programs in research and in population health management.
