The future of medicine is contained in 'The Four Ps': Personalised, Predictive, Preventative, and Participatory.  Aaron Ciechanover , speaking on a panel on the future of biomedicine at the Lindau meeting, explains: "We may have the ability to profile patients before they get sick, therefore we may have the ability to predict diseases - and also 'preventative' because if it's predictive we can also point out the risks. It is also going to be participatory because decisions are going to be made together with the patient." 

What kind of technologies will create personalised care, then? There are a few different options put forward by the all-Nobel laureate panel, which includes  Peter Agre ,  Ferid Murad  and  Martin Evans , as well as Ciechanover. They say the future of medicine will include: Advances in cellular-based therapies, genome-based tailored treatments, and antibody therapies.
