The rising burden of chronic illnesses has driven the world to adopt preventive care, and the success of preventive medicine has strengthened people’s mentality to prefer preventive care over curative care. As the saying goes, “Prevention is better than cure.” Preventive medicine is beneficial in many ways, including preventing the onset of disease conditions, improving overall health, reducing costs, delaying the progression of diseases, and preventing death or disability.
Preventive medicine has transformed the healthcare economy. Adopting revolutionary technologies in biotechnology, biomedical fields, analytics, and information technology is driving the preventive medicine domain. One of the best examples includes molecular biology tools, such as biomarkers and genome sequencing, which have revolutionized disease detection. Moreover, using artificial intelligence, big data, and machine learning offers significant advantages in analyzing patient data, enabling accurate medical decisions. Several renowned pharmaceutical or healthcare companies are actively researching and developing preventive drugs for certain diseases, further advancing the field.
