From COPD to chronic infections, precision medicine is helping us see the hidden patterns behind respiratory illness, revealing the exact pathogens, triggers, and genetic factors that make each case unique. This article breaks down how next-generation sequencing, molecular diagnostics, and targeted care can transform patient outcomes, especially in underserved and rural communities where respiratory conditions often go untreated until crisis strikes.

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) isn’t out of reach for community clinics, small hospitals, or Minority-Serving Institutions. Phronetik’s collaborative, sustainable approach helps these organizations bring genomic sequencing in-house, turning health equity from an aspiration into a reality.
