AI has come a long way in health care and it has many different uses, one of those applied to genomics, by identifying individuals’ phenotypes and genotypes health care professionals can offer personalised medicine, tailoring the right therapeutic strategy for the right person at the right time. AI can also determine an individual’s predisposition to a disease, offering him/her timely prevention.

The concept behind personalised medicine is to customize therapies to ensure they are tailored for patients based on their own unique genomic profile. But the cost of processing and storing every citizen’s fully sequenced genome might be significantly costly.

This debate aims at giving more light on how AI can support personalised medicine, what are the benefits for patients ‘and what are the main barriers it encounters on its application. Additionally, we will further explore the cost this might have for the healthcare system and individuals and what are the ethical challenges this new technologies pose.
