DESCRIPTION:\nWhat is personalised healthcare? And why does the world need
  it?\nHow do we improve treatments and diagnostics with personalised appro
 aches?\nIs there such a thing as “knowing too much” about yourself?\n\
 n\nAs Sir William Osler noted in the late 19th century “[there is] great
  variability among individuals”. Although this statement was merely more
  than an observation at the time it has\, over the subsequent century\, be
 come the basic concept upon which personalised treatments are based. Tradi
 tional treatment plan does not have anything to do with the patient as an 
 individual – it is identical for everyone around the world with the same
  disease. It is too often a trial and error approach as patients try sever
 al treatments in case one does not work\, leading to huge risks for patien
 ts. Personalised or precision medicine combines clinical knowledge\, advan
 ced diagnostic techniques and data analysis to provide tailor-made\, more 
 effective prevention and treatment strategies for individuals.\n \nThe 4t
 h Annual Conference this year introduces the next generation researchers\,
  clinicians and entrepreneurs with different facets of personalised medici
 ne. Through the participation of representatives from every sector of the 
 health system\, this interdisciplinary conference is comprised of 3 main s
 essions to explore the current state of “Personalised Healthcare” in S
 witzerland and worldwide. Join us in Auditorium SG1 at EPFL if you don’t
  want to miss this opportunity to learn more about digital personalized me
 dicine and dealing with big data as well as innovation towards personalize
 d prevention\, diagnostics and treatments.\n\n\nSchedule:\n\n16:00-16:30
