Precision health, a personalized approach using omics and exposome data, offers tailored health management. This model ensures inclusive and equitable, person-centered care for all individuals.
Area of Science:
- Precision medicine and public health
- Genomics and environmental health
Background:
- Precision health is a person-centered strategy for health and well-being.
- It addresses the "one size does not fit all" challenge in individual health management by analyzing omics profiles and exposome associations.
- This approach moves beyond generalized healthcare to individualized wellness.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce a novel Precision Health Model.
- To outline the model's application in both research and clinical settings.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive literature review on precision health, omics science, and exposome factors.
- Synthesis of current knowledge by an expert panel.
- Development of a case study to illustrate the Precision Health Model's practical application.
Main Results:
- Defined precision health and its core domains.
- Established the foundation for the Precision Health Model based on scientific literature and expert consensus.
Conclusions:
- The Precision Health Model offers a structured framework for personalized healthcare.
- Implementation of this model will foster inclusive, equitable, and person-centered research and clinical practices.
