Multiomics approach for precision wellness

Abstract  Mankind has always been concerned about its wellbeing and uses knowledge of science and technology to make its existence better. In the course of time, observations, research, and innovations have led to evolution in health sciences. Both traditional and modern medicinal systems use individual health markers to recommend personalized ways for leading a physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually healthy life, which is called Precision Wellness. With the rapid development of efficient and high-throughput technologies, the field of multiomics has evolved rapidly during the last two decades. Integrative systems have developed that utilizes multimodal omics data to understand the pathophysiology and provide a holistic approach for clinical interventions. This has started playing a big role in prevention, prediction, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of different diseases. Further, it is also helping in defining protocols for precision wellness through the application of precision data generation, integration, modeling, and informatics. For the development of an efficient precision wellness system in future, a concerted effort is needed to investigate, generate data, and formulate policies for a synergistic integration of traditional knowledge system with modern medicinal system.
