\(C\)

Show Worked Solution
  • C is correct: Big data enables precision medicine by integrating lifestyle, genetic and clinical data to personalise care.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect: Applying universal treatment plans ignores individual variation. Precision medicine relies on personalised, not standardised, care.
  • B is incorrect: While data analysis can reduce some human error, this is not the core function of precision medicine.
  • D is incorrect: Big data can improve access through remote monitoring and digital platforms, but it cannot guarantee that all patients will receive advanced care.
