Technology Innovation 2025: Personalized Medicine
As part of our Technology Foresight program, Social Technologies conducted a virtual, global focus group of experts in technology, innovation, and business strategy to determine the top 12 areas for technology innovation through 2025. Personalized medicine is the first innovation area in the series.
Personalized medicine: "one drug for all" to "one drug per case"
Personalized medicine includes the use of gene therapy, pharmacology and information technology to treat each patient individually. The ultimate goal of personalized medicine is the use of a person’s genome to move medicine from a reactive to a preventive stance, fixing a potential problem before it occurs rather than after it manifests. Changes in the medical and healthcare sector will give consumers more information about the interplay of disease and their own genomes, providing them the opportunity to take greater control of their healthcare and enable treatments tailored to specific genomes, which will thereby move medicine from “one drug for all” to “one drug per case.”

Top 12 Areas for Technology Innovation through 2025
What will likely be the most important scientific and technological breakthroughs with significant commercial value and impacts on the lives of consumers out to 2025?
To begin to answer that question, S)T's Technology Foresight program conducted a virtual, global focus group of experts in technology, innovation, and business strategy. The group included experts from the Association of Professional Futurists, Tekes, Duke University, Hasbro, Worldwatch, General Motors, Shell, Johnson Controls, and Oxford University, among others.
After consolidating input from the expert panel and analysis by Social Technologies' futurists, what emerged was our list of top 12 areas for tech innovation through 2025:
