The use of precision medicine is increasing in clinical practice. More precise diagnostic methods and advanced therapies make treatments become more effective. The proper treatment can be given to the right patient at the right time, and early detection means that diseases can be prevented or mitigated.
Since 2023, there is a network for SMEs in precision medicine in the Stockholm-Uppsala region. Around 30 people from 17 different companies attended the network's first meeting. There was great interest in continuing with activities within the network, and the participants agreed on themes for future sessions. During 2024 four sessions took place with these themes:
- Karolinska Institutet's and Karolinska University Hospital's investments in precision medicine
- Clinical trials
- Research infrastructure
- Forms of cooperation between companies of different sizes and between companies, industry and academia.
The next meeting is on March 11.

The network is within the Health Data Sweden (HDS) project, which aims to help small and medium-sized companies and the public sector digitize health data.
