Precision Omics Initiative Sweden (PROMISE) is a new transformative initiative that will be centered around SciLifeLab and Genomic Medicine Sweden (GMS) to completely integrate medical research with the healthcare system in Sweden.
Sweden is uniquely positioned to advance medical research and implement precision medicine on a national scale, benefiting its entire population. Integration of cutting-edge biomedical research technologies with Sweden’s uniform healthcare system has the potential to position our country as a global frontrunner, leading the development of precision medicine in this new technological era. However, data fragmentation and data isolation currently hinder the Swedish ability to fully capitalize on its potential and maximize the use of already available infrastructure and prior investments.
PROMISE will have three major focus areas: 1) Generate extensive multi-omics data from both patients and the general population in Sweden, 2) Develop a strong and effective infrastructure to integrate healthcare generated multi-omics data for research applications, improve data sharing and data accessibility across Sweden, 3) Develop legal and regulatory frameworks for better alignment with modern capabilities, for maximum utilization of Sweden's great potential.
Register for the PROMISE symposium, October 28-29 2024, to contribute to further developing the scientific foundation and design of this transformative initiative.
