A new systems approach to diseased states and wellness result in a new branch in the healthcare services, namely, personalized and precision medicine (PPM). To achieve the implementa on of PM concept, it is necessary to create a fundamentally new strategy based upon the subclinical recogni on of biopredictors of hidden abnormali es long before the disease clinically manifests itself. Each decisionmaker values the impact of their decision to use PPM on their own budget and well-being, which may not necessarily be op mal for society as a whole. It would be extremely useful to integrate data harves ng from diff erent databanks for applica ons such as predic on and personaliza on of further treatment to thus provide more tailored measures for the
pa ents resul ng in improved pa ent outcomes, reduced adverse events, and more cost eff ec ve use of health care resources. A lack of medical guidelines has been iden ï¬ ed by the majority of responders as the predominant barrier for adop on, indica ng a need for the development of best prac ces and guidelines to support the implementa on of PPM! Implementa on of PPM requires a lot before the current model “physician-pa ent” could be gradually displaced by a new model “medical advisor-healthy person-at-risk”. This is the reason for developing global scien ï¬ c, clinical, social, and educa onal projects in the area of PPM to elicit the content of the new branch.
