Abstract Precision medicine is increasingly constrained not by a lack of molecular data but by the absence of frameworks that can translate multidimensional biological information into actionable clinical decisions. Multi‐omics‐driven precision medicine (MODPM) addresses this lack by integrating genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbiome, and clinical context into a multiscale framework that links molecular mechanisms, tissue organization, and patient trajectories. In this review, we propose a conceptual framework for MODPM and examine how advances in multi‐omics technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), and foundation models are reshaping disease modeling, drug development, and precision intervention. We summarize the biological contributions of major omics layers and discuss how AI supports cross‐modal representation learning, contextual modeling, and perturbation‐aware prediction. We highlight drug development as a key translational application of MODPM and further discuss its clinical relevance across three major disease contexts: cancer, autoimmune diseases, and metabolic disorders, including cardiometabolic and renal–metabolic diseases. These examples illustrate how MODPM can support target discovery, disease endotyping, treatment response prediction, and clinical monitoring by analyzing shared mechanisms such as immune dysregulation, metabolic remodeling, chronic inflammation, tissue microenvironmental changes, and gene–environment interactions. Across these settings, MODPM enables finer molecular stratification, the identification of pathway‐dominant disease states, improved response prediction, and dynamic treatment monitoring. We also discuss key barriers to implementation, including data heterogeneity, limited cohort diversity, polygenic complexity, workflow constraints, cost, and ethical issues related to privacy, consent, and data ownership. Overall, the value of MODPM lies not in stacking additional data layers but in building a multiscale, continuously learnable framework to link biological heterogeneity to clinically interpretable and actionable decisions.
