Global Process of Personalisation in Medicine – New Perspectives in Healthcare

Abstract

In healthcare, the realisation of an optimistic prognosis against pessimistic ones depends on current innovations in diagnostic and cost-effective treatment approaches being widely adopted in clinical practice. This task requires intelligent political regulations and creation of new guidelines to advance current healthcare systems. How do we estimate the overall impact of personalised medicine and adopt innovative approaches in healthcare systems, whilst promoting early/predictive diagnostics, targeted preventive measures and individualised patient treatment on a global scale? The topic is discussed in detail in this book-volume, using innovative concept of data presentation created by the new book-series “Advances in Predictive, Preventive and Personalised Medicine” in tight collaboration between EPMA and Springer.
