Can Systems Biology Aid In Personalised Medicine? –

Can Systems Biology Aid In Personalised Medicine? – | Thinking about Systems | Scoop.it

Personalised medicine is a tenet to provide the right medication to the right person in the right dose at the right time. However, the process of personalizing medicine might appear daunting considering the intricate nature of diseases and the population affected. This article briefly describes how systems biology has boomed into one of the most sought-after approaches to simplify the study of biological systems and its use in personalized medicine. 


 The modern era of genomic medicine relies on learning complex biological systems with a concerted effort of scientists from various disciplines. The virtuous cycle of, “biology drives technology drives computation” best explains a cross-disciplinary environment, where physicians, chemists, biologists, engineers, mathematicians, computer scientists, and physicists come together as a team to study multifarious biological systems.

Opinion: Health systems research is critical to tackle the global burden of disease | Devex | Thinking about Systems | Scoop.it
Strategic health systems research can help us anticipate and respond to the burden of all NCDs in LMICs, with interventions designed and delivered for maximum benefit in these settings. An important focus of the Fourth Global Symposium on Health Systems Research ramping up in Vancouver this week will be on how to reshape health systems to tackle this rapidly growing burden, especially in resource-poor settings that are already overburdened by communicable diseases.

Advancing Relationship-Based Cultures: Creative Health Care Management, Mary Koloroutis, David Abelson: 9781886624979: Amazon.com: Books

Advancing Relationship-Based Cultures: Creative Health Care Management, Mary Koloroutis, David Abelson: 9781886624979: Amazon.com: Books | Thinking about Systems | Scoop.it

The winner of the 2018 American College of Healthcare Executives James A. Hamilton Book of the Year Award. The premise of Advancing Relationship-Based Cultures is simple. Given that relationships permeate every atom of health care, it follows quite naturally that everything in health care will work better when relationships are healthy. Medical miracles, alleviated suffering, and enhanced comfort all take place between human beings. They take place when human beings who are suffering enter the sphere of a group of human beings who are as committed to caring for them as whole, complex people as they are committed to applying their technical skill and knowledge to the healing of their physical ailments.

Regenerative Design and a Science of Qualities – Daniel Wahl – Medium

Understanding the dynamics of change within complex dynamic systems has critical implications for our understanding of health. Conceiving of health as an emergent property of complex systems can inform salutogenic — health-generating — design. This approach is needed to move beyond sustainability by creating diverse regenerative cultures that are elegantly adapted to the bio-cultural uniqueness of place.

Preparing medical students for the 'third science' | Penn State University | Thinking about Systems | Scoop.it

Penn State College of Medicine faculty are helping shape the "third science" of medical education by defining what health systems science is and how student perception of it should be addressed in designing curriculum.


A linking domain connects core curricular and cross-cutting domains to each other or to other areas of curriculum. Systems thinking involves an awareness of the larger social and economic context in which health systems exist.
