In modern healthcare, the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to medication often fails to address the unique needs of individual patients. Genetic differences, metabolic variations, and lifestyle factors influence drug efficacy, leading to suboptimal treatment outcomes, side effects, and poor adherence. This challenge is particularly relevant for individuals managing chronic conditions, such as diabetes or cardiovascular diseases, where precise dosing and timed drug release are crucial. The PERAMEDIC project aims to overcome these limitations by developing a custom medicine printing platform capable of manufacturing personalised polypills with tailored drug release profiles. By integrating pharmaceutical advancements, adaptive microprinting, and precision dosing, PERAMEDIC seeks to transform drug formulation and administration.
Personalised medicine remains difficult to implement due to challenges in drug manufacturing, regulatory approval, and cost-effectiveness. PERAMEDIC addresses these issues by leveraging advanced 3D printing technology to produce patient-specific medication in a scalable and adaptable manner. This approach ensures that multiple active pharmaceutical ingredients can be incorporated into a single pill, allowing for controlled release tailored to individual medical needs. The project aims to simplify complex medication regimens, improving adherence while reducing the risk of adverse drug interactions.
PERAMEDIC will improve therapeutic efficacy and reduce side effects by delivering optimal dosing and controlled drug release. By enabling small-batch, on-demand manufacturing, it will introduce a new paradigm in pharmaceutical production, making personalised medicine a viable reality. The project’s success will also contribute to healthcare system efficiency by reducing hospital visits and medication-related complications.
