  • smart drugs / treatments specific to a patient's genetics
  • on site genome testing during infections
  • gene therapy
  • organs & prosthetics
  • detailed monitoring (while relatively non-invasive) in intensive care, notifying HCPs early before issues develop
  • very fast vaccine development
