P4
P4 medicine is a term originally coined by Leroy Hood to explain a shift from a reactive mode of medicine, i.e., treatment beginning on the onset of symptoms, to a prospective mode of medicine. P4 stands for the four Ps, i.e., Predictive, Preventive, Personalized, and Participatory.

Predictive medicine
The first step in P4 medicine is the predictive medicine. Medicine will be made predictive rather than reactive, so that before the onset of disease, a patient will be able to Prevent it. The power of prediction depends upon availability of individual genomic data, blood protein data, information from and individual's RNAome, proteome and metabolome (requiring nanotechnology to analyze thousands of proteins, RNAs and metabolites in minimum space and time), and  increased computing power to process and store such large amounts of data from not only a single patient but the whole population.
