The Estonian personalized medicine pilot project started already last September. As Ain Aaviksoo, Vice-Chancellor of Estonian Ministry of Social Affairs, explained, medical treatment and advice should be individual based on health, genetic and behavioural data and needs of each individual. Estonia has capacity to make it real as there is a genome bank with massive donated data and e-services. The Idea Garage was an initiative to connect experts in the field with entrepreneurial people so that new creative ideas could be born. Read more about personalized medicine here.
