Abstract
With more than four billion Internet users across the globe and the accelerating power of Artificial Intelligence, our capacity to collect, integrate, analyze and visualize large volumes of data, both nonspecific and specific to health, is unprecedented. However, to overcome the challenges of past applications of technology-driven global health strategies and the fragmentation of historically distinct health science disciplines, we need a more comprehensive approach to global health. Building on precision medicine, and more recently precision public health, we propose Precision Global Health (PGH) as a strategic, innovative, multilevel and transdisciplinary approach, which aims at equitably improving human health by addressing complex global health challenges, working with and for targeted populations for the identification of their specific needs and the delivery of sustainable and impactful tailored health interventions. With the support of governments and donors, together with international nongovernmental organizations, universities and research institutions can lead the way in implementing the roadmap of PGH aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.
