Abstract:
Precision health and person-centred care (PCC) represent complementary approaches to improve healthcare. Precision health emphasizes personalized prevention and the early detection of disease, leveraging a data-driven biopsychosocial approach. PCC emphasizes patient autonomy, values, and holistic well-being. Integrating these paradigms can enhance healthcare by aligning advanced, data-driven precision with the individual engagement of PCC. This synthesis supports tailored treatments, patient participation, and equity while addressing challenges like workforce capacity, digitalisation, and health disparities. Successfully combining these models promises a responsive healthcare system, advancing both clinical outcomes and research methodologies through shared principles and innovative practices.
