67、 these tools generate valuable and important data which can be stored in Electronic Health Records(EHR).EHRs allow medical professionals direct access to a patients complete medical history,test results,treatment record,allergies and many more data.With that,EHRs do not only enable faster and better

81、 supports medical professionals in diagnosis and treatmentsAI Medicine is a field that uses machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques to analyse medical data and make recommendations or predictions about patient care or drug development.These systems can be used to support a variety of

82、 medical tasks,including diagnosis,prognosis,treatment planning,and monitoring of patient health.For example,predictive analytics systems can be employed to identify patients who are at high risk of developing a particular condition or disease,based on their medical history,demographics,and other fa

83、ctors.Complementary to this,diagnostic systems that use AI to analyse medical images or other diagnostic data to identify abnormalities or disease have been maturing regarding early cancer detection employing,both bio-marker-based and visual-based-data.Also,AI-based drug discovery incorporating larg

84、e amounts of data,such as genomic data,chemical compounds,and clinical trial results,can be used in order to identify potential drug candidates and predict their effectiveness.This can speed up the drug discovery and development process that currently takes about 10 yearsby automating tasks,such as

85、data analysis and molecule design,and by identifying patterns and relationships that may not be immediately apparent to humans.AI can also help to reduce the cost of drug development that averages out to about US$2.6bn for bringing a new drug to the market by identifying promising drug candidates mo

97、the late 1970s comprises the use of biological processes to produce pharmaceuticals,industrial enzymes,food additives,chemicals and other products.It involves the cultivation of microorganisms or cells to produce a specific product,which can be a chemical compound,protein,or other biomolecule.So-cal

98、led advanced biomanufacturing refers to the use of cutting-edge technologies and techniques,such as advanced analytical tools and automation,as well as the application of engineering principles,to optimise the production,biological processing and design of biomanufacturing processes.Advancements in

99、biomanufacturing have meanwhile led to fuels,chemicals,and engineered meats and plants,for example,being made from renewable resources.Subsequently,foodtech companies have lately been focusing on lab-grown meat,which may drastically lower the future carbon footprint of meat production:Using a biopsy

100、 from an animal,scientists isolate high-quality cells from different parts of the tissue.These cells are then fed with nutrients so they can grow efficiently under controlled conditions.Finally,they are put in bioreactors,where they grow until ready to be harvested and made into meat components.Conc

111、motion the so-called PCAST council to release a report in December 2022 labelled“Strengthening Biomanufacturing to Advance the Bioeconomy”which contains three core recommendations:to build up biomanufacturing infrastructure hubs,tostreamline the necessary regulatory approval processes,and to prepare

112、 anew,data-based strategy for the bioeconomy.More effective treatments and therapies based on patients individual characteristicsThe goal of personalized medicine is to provide the most effective treatment for each patient,rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.There are several ways that pe

113、rsonalized medicine can be used in clinical practice.One example is pharmacogenomics,which involves using a patients genetic information to predict how they will respond to certain medications.This can help doctors choose the most effective and safest medication for each patient.Another example is t

114、he use of genetic testing to help diagnose and treat medical conditions.Genetic testing can be used to identify genetic mutations that increase a persons risk of developing certain diseases,such as cancer.This information can help doctors tailor preventive measures,diagnostics and in case of disease

115、 also treatment plans to each patients specific needs.A lot of progress has recently been made in gene therapy recently.One form of this therapy is called“base editing”which allows scientists to“zoom”to a precise part of the genetic code and then alter the molecular structure of just one base,conver

116、ting it into another and changing the genetic instructions.This allows researchers to make highly specific changes to the genome that can potentially correct genetic mutations or alter the function of a gene,thereby redirecting the immune system to fight cancer,for example.In this segment there are

117、already trials of base editing under way in blood disorders like sickle-cell disease and beta-thalassemia,as well as high cholesterol that runs in families.Healthy HumanTrialPersonalized MedicineOpportunities Potential to improve patient outcomes by providing more targeted and effective treatments.T
