The Use of Biomarkers in Precision Health Symptom Science—Opportunities and Challenges
Symptom biomarker identification is inherently complex and the methods for biomarker collection, processing, measurement, and analysis are continually evolving. Therefore, symptom scientists need to form transdisciplinary teams with experts in omics methodologies and bioinformatics. Despite the challenges, symptom scientists are well suited to lead the way in precision health symptom science to reduce symptom burden and improve quality of life among patients with various chronic conditions.
