From research scientists to data analysts, we work together to constantly push the boundaries of science and drive progress in care through the development of next-generation personalised medicines. At Janssen, data science and digital technology enable us to transform health outcomes, prevent and detect disease earlier, and implement innovative, life-saving interventions through precision medicine.
Precision medicine has the potential to turn science fiction into reality as we look to transform lives, one person at time. Our pioneering treatments account for variations in genes, environment and lifestyle, meaning they can be targeted to individual patients. Today our precision medicine in cancer involves many different approaches including: individualised medicine, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and genomics.
Data analytics and innovative digital technologies make precision medicine possible
The availability of biomedical and healthcare data offers opportunities to better understand the trajectory of a disease and intercept it before it causes harm. Big data, predictive modelling, and data science are instrumental to the implementation of precision medicine, while emerging digital technologies allow for the creation of personalised, real-time data collection through devices such as wearables and other types of interactive technology. These technological advances all offer new ways to improve clinical outcomes and offer more personalised healthcare tailored to the needs of individual patients.
Our targeted immunotherapies have already improved the lives of many patients; however, with cancer causing an estimated global economic burden of $1.16 trillion in 2010,1 there is still so much more to do. Technological innovations have the potential to revolutionise how we see medicine.
