Agree

[Ashvinder Kaur @AshvinderKaur]

@QF @kfakhro @drHamdiMbarek @drwalidq @E_Sukkar @WISHQatar @TheEIU Community health workers and patient navigators key to help increase genomic literacy amongst the public, needed particularly to reach disadvantaged communities/ those socio-economically isolated

[Dr. Walid Qoronfleh @drwalidq]

@QF @kfakhro @drHamdiMbarek @E_Sukkar @WISHQatar @TheEIU Computational power, AI tools and strong ICT infrastructure

[Dr. Walid Qoronfleh @drwalidq]

@QF @kfakhro @drHamdiMbarek @E_Sukkar @WISHQatar @TheEIU We hope aspects of PM are integrated into primary care and are routine

[Dr. Walid Qoronfleh @drwalidq]

@kfakhro @QF @drHamdiMbarek @E_Sukkar @WISHQatar @TheEIU Bench to Bedside will not happen without clinicians participation in research

[Dr. Walid Qoronfleh @drwalidq]

@E_Sukkar @QF @kfakhro @drHamdiMbarek @WISHQatar @TheEIU I echo this

[Dr. Walid Qoronfleh @drwalidq]

@QF @kfakhro @drHamdiMbarek @E_Sukkar @WISHQatar @TheEIU Precision Medicine is not even part of today’s medical curriculum or clinical training A Transformation in Medical Education needs to occur

[Dr. Walid Qoronfleh @drwalidq]

@drHamdiMbarek @QF @kfakhro @E_Sukkar @WISHQatar @TheEIU True

[Dr. Walid Qoronfleh @drwalidq]

@E_Sukkar @QF @kfakhro @drHamdiMbarek @WISHQatar @TheEIU This requires well coordinated international effort like Genome Africa

[Dr. Walid Qoronfleh @drwalidq]

@QF @kfakhro @drHamdiMbarek @E_Sukkar @WISHQatar @TheEIU So far, PM is a promise with little penetration into standard health care. Democratization has not occurred yet

[Dr. Walid Qoronfleh @drwalidq]

@QF @kfakhro @drHamdiMbarek @E_Sukkar @WISHQatar @TheEIU I believe having a well trained knowledgeable workforce will be a challenge if you want to make PM mainstream

[Dr. Walid Qoronfleh @drwalidq]

Companion Diagnostics for sure.

[Khalid Fakhro @kfakhro]

@QF @drHamdiMbarek @drwalidq @E_Sukkar @WISHQatar @TheEIU My votes would be:
Diagnostics - there will be many innovative platforms to diagnose patients more accurately & quickly

Cost - accurate/fast dx costs will come down big time

Democratization - the two above will enable patients to self-monitor and guide their own health journey.

[Dr. Walid Qoronfleh @drwalidq]

@E_Sukkar @QF @kfakhro @drHamdiMbarek @WISHQatar @TheEIU Multi factor diseases are a challenge but will benefit from PM work

[Dr. Walid Qoronfleh @drwalidq]

@QF @kfakhro @drHamdiMbarek @E_Sukkar @WISHQatar @TheEIU Cancer for sure. My thought at the population level PM need to be integrated in primary care

[Dr. Walid Qoronfleh @drwalidq]

I believe this will evolve into Lifestyle Medicine

[Elizabeth Sukkar @E_Sukkar]

@QF @kfakhro @drHamdiMbarek @drwalidq @WISHQatar @TheEIU Focus is on treatments but an EXCITING future is when we apply it to early detection & prevention.

So, using genomic data (+environmental data) to screen earlier will make a huge difference to a person’s chance of long term survival

[Dr. Walid Qoronfleh @drwalidq]

@kfakhro @QF @drHamdiMbarek @E_Sukkar @WISHQatar @TheEIU Yes for patients correct diagnosis and effective treatment

[Dr. Walid Qoronfleh @drwalidq]

@drHamdiMbarek @QF @kfakhro @E_Sukkar @WISHQatar @TheEIU That is one of the chief intents of PM

[Dr. Walid Qoronfleh @drwalidq]

@kholoudxyz @E_Sukkar @QF @kfakhro @drHamdiMbarek @WISHQatar @TheEIU It takes a comprehensive harmonized approach to address these issues Not just technology solutions

[Dr. Walid Qoronfleh @drwalidq]

@kfakhro @QF @drHamdiMbarek @E_Sukkar @WISHQatar @TheEIU Yes major strides in Cancer last year FDA approved 14 personalized cancer treatments

[Dr. Walid Qoronfleh @drwalidq]

@drHamdiMbarek @QF @kfakhro @E_Sukkar @WISHQatar @TheEIU Evidence based research is valuable for policies especially with those decision makers outside the healthcare system Insurance and Finance Ministers

[Dr. Walid Qoronfleh @drwalidq]

@E_Sukkar @QF @kfakhro @drHamdiMbarek @WISHQatar @TheEIU Key to address this is to show value
