Characteristic Medical Treatment
It is startling how common these chronic diseases like cancer are when one looks at the numbers. Half of us will get cancer, and half of those will die of it. One third of us will have diabetes, and a significant proportion will suffer complications from their disease, such as blindness. We have made little progress in reducing these statistics in the past five decades; in fact the prevalence continues to rise. Our country is on track to spend 40 percent of our GDP on health care by 2030 (today we spend 17 percent of GDP).
The time is now to reduce the burden of common chronic disease and reverse these trends. Ignite Institute is a global non-profit with a mission to bring together public and private sector partners to apply the latest medical knowledge and technology to prevent and manage major diseases. The human body is a machine with a finite number of parts, and we finally have the technologies and know-how to sift through that machine and understand deeply what causes disease in a more progressive and integrated fashion. We see the broad-based implementation of personalized medicine in clinical setting as the solution.
Personalized medicine is about understanding an individual at the molecular level. With that knowledge, we can assess susceptibility to disease, identify environmental exposures that should be avoided, screen regularly for specific diseases (early detection generally equals better outcomes). Personalized medicine can help us extend the healthy lifespan by providing the right tests and treatments for the right people at the right time. This kind of health care is not a decade away. It is within our reach today. There remains much to be done and it will require hard work, but the payoff is measured in returns such as happiness vs. suffering and life vs. death.
Recently, two of our D. C. -area partners chose to discontinue their partnership. I’m grateful for all they did to help the Institute to this point, but I don’t see this as a setback. I see it as a reality of creating something truly unique and transformative.
We need to act swiftly and decisively to change the way we manage health and disease on a global scale, specifically around major chronic diseases. We cannot only reduce suffering and death on a large scale, but by applying medicine strategically we can extend the healthy lifespan and save massive amounts of health-care dollars. In the months ahead, there will surely be more hurdles, more enduring lessons, and certainly more triumphs as we continue our fight.
