Conceptual and Theoretical Specifications forAccuracy in Medicine

Abstract: Technological developments in genomics and other -omics originated the idea that precise measurements would lead to better therapeutic strategies. However, precision does not entail accuracy. Scientific accuracy requires a theoretical framework to understand the meaning of measurements, the nature of causal relationships, and potential intrinsic limitations of knowledge. For example, a precise measurement of initial positions in classical mechanics is useless without initial velocities; it is not an accurate m… Show more

“…However, at the beginning of the twenty-first century organicism has had a revival, especially after the completion of the Human Genome Project (Botz-Bornstein, 2020, Nicholson, 2014). An important reason for its revival in the postgenomic era is the development of omics technology, which has permitted clinicians to gather substantial amounts of data on patients, to use these data to treat patients specifically as individuals, and finally to predict diseases to which patients are susceptible based on their omics data (Chen and Snyder, 2013, Loscalzo and Barabasi, 2011, Montévil, 2020.…”
