The term “personalized medicine”, however, fails Revised 09 MAY 2012 to reflect the enormous dimensionality of this new medicine that will be predictive, preventive, per- Accepted 16 MAY 2012 sonalized, and participatory – a vision of medicine we have termed P4 medicine. This reflects a paradigm change in how medicine will be practiced that is revolutionary rather than evolutionary. P4 medicine arises from the confluence of a systems approach to medicine and from the digitali- zation of medicine that creates the large data sets necessary to deal with the complexities of dis- ease. We predict that systems approaches will empower the transition from conventional reactive medical practice to a more proactive P4 medicine focused on wellness, and will reverse the esca- lating costs of drug development and will have enormous social and economic benefits. Our vi- sion for P4 medicine in 10 years is that each patient will be associated with a virtual data cloud of billions of data points and that we will have the information technology for healthcare to reduce this enormous data dimensionality to simple hypotheses about health and/or disease for each in- dividual. These data will be multi-scale across all levels of biological organization and extremely heterogeneous in type – this enormous amount of data represents a striking signal-to-noise (S/N) challenge. The key to dealing with this S/N challenge is to take a “holistic systems approach” to disease as we will discuss in this article.
