  PREDICTIVE TREATMENT

HCPs want to better predict treatment response, given the uncertainty around which treatment to prescribe to which patient and when to prescribe. How do we risk asses the patients and match them with the right, personalized, treatment? How can we transform the wealth of data and link it to the predictive nature how the patient will respond?
