Researchers at Feinberg are pioneering ways to diagnose and prevent chronic diseases through innovative tests, including genetic screening and blood analysis. Led by Dr. Rex L. Chisholm, the Emerge Network has collaborated with 10 sites nationwide to integrate genetic data with electronic medical records, assessing individuals' disease susceptibilities. Since 2007, 25,000 have enrolled, showcasing a proactive approach. Initial results suggest about 50% adherence to personalized health recommendations, indicating a positive trend in preventive healthcare. Continued research aims to evaluate long-term impacts on disease incidence and healthcare costs.
"Preliminary results from the current study has shown that as high as 50 percent of participants have followed their tailored clinical recommendations."
"Studies like the Emerge Network will have an important impact on healthcare costs and preventive care, particularly in transforming genetic data into actionable insights for patient health."
