Practitioners are increasingly adopting a personalised medicine
approach to individually tailored patient care, especially disease
diagnosis and treatment with the use of biomarkers. However,
development and implementation of such approaches to chronic
disease prevention need further investigation and concerted efforts
for proper use in healthcare systems. This book provides
high-quality, multidisciplinary knowledge from research in
personalised medicine, specifically personalised prevention of
chronic disease. It addresses different perspectives of prevention
in the field, and is the outcome of a four-year work of the
Personalized prevention of Chronic Disease (PRECeDI) Consortium, a
multi-disciplinary and multi-professional team of experts. The
Consortium jointly agreed to document and address the five aspects
or domains of personalised medicine and prevention as individual
chapters: Identification of biomarkers for the prevention of
chronic disease Evaluation of predictive genomic applications
Ethico-legal and policy issues surrounding personalised medicine
Roles and responsibilities of stakeholders in informing healthy
individuals on their genome: a sociotechnical analysis
Identification of organisational models for the provision of
predictive genomic applications The book focuses on the
Consortium's recommendations that are derived from each of these
domains based on up-to-date evidence and research that the authors
write, follow, and systematically organise and report.
Personalisation of health care is, eventually, a driver of
innovation in research and healthcare systems. With this
SpringerBrief on Personalised Health Care: Fostering Precision
Medicine Advancements for Gaining Population Health Impact, the
Consortium provides further evidence of the clinical validity and
utility of personalised medicine with special emphasis on the
prevention of chronic diseases. The book is a useful resource for
policy makers, industry and healthcare professionals, scientists,
technology-sector professionals, investors, citizens, and private
companies that need proper advice to realise the potential of
personalised medicine.
