Today we are on the brink of a much-needed moment for health care.

The U.S. health care system is designed to be reactive instead of preventive. The result is diagnoses that are too late and outcomes that are far worse than our level of spending should deliver. In recent years, U.S. life expectancy has been declining.

Fundamental to realizing health, and a more health care system, is advancing the disruptive thinking that has spawned innovation in Silicon Valley and throughout the world. That’s exactly what Stanford Medicine has done by proposing a new vision for health and health care. In Discovering Precision Health, Lloyd Minor and Matthew Rees describe a approach that will set health care on the right track: keep people by preventing before it starts and personalize the treatment of individuals precisely, based on their specific profile.

With descriptions of the pioneering work undertaken at Stanford Medicine, complemented by fascinating case studies of innovations from entities including the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub, GRAIL, and Impossible Foods, Minor and Rees present a dynamic vision for the future of and health care. You�ll see how tools from smartphone to genome sequencing to routine blood tests are helping avert illness and promote health. And you’ll learn about the promising progress already underway in bringing greater precision to the process of predicting, preventing, and treating a range of conditions, including allergies, mental illness, preterm birth, cancer, stroke, and autism.

The book highlights how biomedical advances are dramatically improving our ability to treat and cure complex diseases, while emphasizing the need to devote more attention to social, behavioral, and that are often the primary determinants of health.

The authors explore thought-provoking topics including:
The unlikely role of Google Glass in treating autismHow gene editing can advance precision in treating diseaseWhat medicine can learn from aviationDiscovering Precision Health showcases entirely new ways of thinking about health and health care and can help empower us to lead healthier lives.
