 	Evaluate the different applications of precision medicine.\n	Indicate the d
 ifferent roles that exist to support the development of precision-medicine
  solutions (i.e.\, show how individuals with different backgrounds—enginee
 ring\, computer science\, biomedical science\, psychology\, etc.—can find
