University Of Michigan Launches Precision Medicine Research Initiative For Opioid Addiction

The University of Michigan recently launched a new precision health initiative that will focus on the opioid crisis. The researchers plan to create pain management guidelines by identifying risk factors among patients who are recovering from surgery. The initiative will use data that has already been collected from 35,000 patients through the Michigan Genomics Initiative. Researchers will then draw on genomics and socioeconomic data, sensors, and wearables to find potential solutions that can turn into treatment strategies and tested in the real world.

The University of Michigan has eight Research Initiatives, which includes Precision Health. Precision health uses advanced . . .
