Data-rich, individualised medicine poses unprecedented challenges for ICT - in terms of hardware, storage and communication. Making personalised medicine a reality will thus require fundamental advances in the computational sciences. It is with this in mind that Information Technology Future of Medicine (ITFoM) brings together world leading research groups from across Europe and beyond. ITFoM proposes a medicine based on molecular, physiological, anatomical and environmental data from individual patients. Using these data, ITFoM will develop general models of human pathways, tissues, diseases and ultimately of the human as a whole. Individualised models for each patient (the virtual patient) will then be used to identify personalised prevention/therapy schedules and potential side effects of treatment regimes. « less
