A new systems approach to disease, to pay its crucial attention on the trend would result in a new branch in the healthcare services, namely, Personalized Medicine (PM). To achieve the imple-mentation of PM concept, it is necessary to create a fundamentally new strategy based upon the subclinical and/or predictive recognition of biomarkers of hidden abnormalities long before the disease clinically manifests itself. This strategy would give a real opportunity to secure preventive measures whose personalization could have a significant influence on demographics. The key benefits of PM would include: to detect disease at a subclinical stage; to stratify patients into groups that enable the selection of optimal preventive treatment; to reduce adverse drug effects by more effective early assessment of individual drug responses; to improve the selection of new targets for drug discovery and; to shift the emphasis from illness to wellness. The decision to uti-lize PM-related tools and targeted therapeutics is made at a level of targeting whilst depending on the type of intervention it could be ordered by administration of hospitals and infirmaries, la-boratories or clinics, by doctors, and sometimes directly by individuals/patients to suit the pa-tient-centric mode. Coordinated measures to optimize the progress should be well-focused on solving the accumulating problems in healthcare and the concomitant economic burden that soci-eties across the globe are facing more and more. PM offers great and real promise for the future, and next generations will speak about the XXI century as a time, when healthcare services be-came predictive and preventive, and its outcomes ΓΆΒ?Β? secured and guaranteed.
