Precision medicine is establishing a personalized disease classification system that differs from the traditional system. However, the research progress of precision medicine in recent years is far from satisfactory: There are few disease types that can be attributed to the abnormality of a single target; the effects of current'precision' medications are not ideal, and various side effects remain unavoidable. The methodology of precision medicine is still reductionist, and it would not solve the integration problem of clinical treatment but rather would increase the difficulty of integration. Therefore, the precision medicine approach is not a feasible way to build a personalised medicine system. Based on the analysis and demonstration of the scientific limitations of precision medicine and the consistency of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and complexity science methods, this paper draws on the concepts and methods of cybernetics and complexity science, and proposes a fresh set of ideas and methods for the development of personalised medicine. The conclusion is as follows: Along the path of precision medicine, ideal personalised medicine cannot be achieved; what people ultimately need is personalised medicine that can achieve holistic integration. On the basis of TCM with the characteristics of holistic integration and personalisation, and according to scientific norms and the principle of evidence, building a theoretical model and state description system grounded in empirical evidence is the best way to establish a personalised medicine system.</p>","PeriodicalId":509088,"journal":{"name":"Pharmacogenomics and Personalized Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"927-942"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/0c/ae/pgpm-15-927.PMC9640219.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40675404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
