This book gathers scientific contributions on comprehensive
approaches to personalized medicine. In a systematic and clear
manner, it provides extensive information on the methodological,
technological, and clinical aspects of high-throughput analytics,
nanotechnology approaches, microbiota/human interactions, in-vitro
fertilization and preimplantation, and various diseases like
cancer.Moreover, the book analyzes the social and legal aspects of
social security systems, healthcare systems and EU law - e.g. the
role of solidarity, regulatory possibilities and obstacles, justice
and equality, privacy/disclosure of data, and the right to know -
from an interdisciplinary perspective. Lastly, it explores the
economical and ethical context in the fields of business models,
intellectual property issues, the patient/physician relationship,
and price discrimination.
This book offers comprehensive coverage of the various aspects of
personalized medicine as an original approach to classifying,
understanding, treating and preventing disease based on individual
biological differences. In the introductory section, it defines
personalized medicine as a way toward new medical practices and
addresses the question: What can personalized medicine offer
citizens, medical professionals, reimbursement bodies and
stakeholders? Subsequent chapters discuss the technological aspects
of personalized medicine: data collection, comprehensive
integration and handling of data, together with key enabling
factors in developing the requisite technological support for
personalized medicine. Lastly, the book explores the main issues
shaping the implementation and development of personalized medicine
- education, stakeholder participation, infrastructure, a new
approach to the classification of disease and medical tests,
regulatory frameworks, and new reimbursement models - together with
ethical, legal and social issues. Ultimately, the book calls for
interdisciplinarity and a radical change in the way we approach the
health and wellbeing of individuals. Target groups are medical
doctors and researchers in the field of biomedicine, as well as
experts from the social sciences dealing with legal, economic and
social aspects of health system issues in general. Though the book
will primarily benefit these groups of professional experts, its
content will also appeal to a far wider readership, as it deals
with a paradigm shift in one of society's main pillars - the health
system.
