In 2015, he coined the term Personomics in an article in JAMA Internal Medicine, and began speaking and writing about this in a variety of settings and publications. The term emphasizes the importance of considering the psychological, social, cultural, behavioral, and economic factors that make each person unique along with the more traditional “-omics” of Precision Medicine (e.g., genomics proteomics, and pharmacogenomics).
