We explore emerging biomedical technologies, reviewing their progress, potential impact and the challenges that will arise when implementing into health services.
AI-driven multiomics: a vision for personalised healthcare
A promising approach towards personalised care is AI-driven multiomics – the combined analysis of genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and other biological layers of information facilitated by AI. As each omic dataset provides a unique lens into patient biology, such combined analyses yield powerful insights that no single dataset can capture.

Early diagnosis of disease has advanced through emerging innovations. Such developments have assisted in the way illnesses are understood and allowed for detection of diseases before symptoms appear.
