Some have called the human body a kind of “Black box”. There is much we don’t understand about human physiology and pathology. Despite centuries of laboratory experimentation and clinical trials, it is not yet the standard of care to integrate multi-modal data – phenotype, genotype, imaging, digital pathology, and telemetry to provide personalized diagnosis and treatment.
Fortunately, tools are evolving that include a long list of omics like genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and microbiomics....
