Personalized medicine, also known as precision medicine or systems medicine, is a medical approach that involves tailoring medical decisions, practices, interventions, and products to individual patients based on their predicted response or risk of disease. This approach takes into account the unique genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that influence a patient's health. Personalized medicine has its roots in the ancient Greek concept of 'temperaments', which held that individuals had unique physical and personality characteristics that influenced their health.
