Figure 1. The key areas required before formulating personalized medicine are covered in the above flow chart. The formulation of personalized medicine begins with the identification of deregulated molecular targets, which is then addressed with tailored therapy by artificial intelligence. Clinical decision is an important aspect that decides the disease prognosis; hence through AI one can stratify the patients based on the treatment response and further design their treatment plan accordingly.

Figure 3. Artificial intelligence has made the process of drug designing and development easier. Target can easily be identified by artificial intelligence and further the drug is designed specifically for it. Through molecular docking the binding affinity of the proposed drug with its target is assessed. Further molecular dynamic simulations determine the stability of the drug. ADMET analysis is also performed in order to evaluate the proposed drug’s absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity.
