Abstract

The integration of machine learning (ML) algorithms in precision medicine is transforming healthcare by enabling more accurate diagnostics and personalized treatment strategies. This review explores the current state of ML applications in precision medicine, highlighting capabilities in processing vast amounts of data to identify patterns that inform clinical decisions. We discuss various ML algorithms, including supervised and unsupervised learning techniques, and their role in genomics, imaging, and electronic health records. The advantages of ML in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and treatment personalization are contrasted with the challenges of data quality, algorithm transparency, and ethical considerations. Additionally, we examine case studies demonstrating successful implementations of ML in predicting disease outcomes and optimizing therapeutic regimens. Future research directions are proposed to address existing limitations, including the need for standardized protocols, validation of ML models, and the integration of diverse data sources. This review emphasizes the potential of ML algorithms to revolutionize precision medicine, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes and more efficient healthcare systems.
