Abstract

The proposal of P4 medicine has brought about a change in the current medical model. Patients pay greater attention to their participation in the medical process, and personalized medicine also plays an important role in the treatment process. The sedentary lifestyle of modern people has brought about an overall decline in their health condition. The promotion of exercise medicine can not only provide effects that medical treatment cannot bring, but can also prevent diseases and relieve symptoms of chronic diseases. This chapter first introduces the concept of participatory medicine and personalized medicine, as well as their current related applications, such as the Internet of Things, sensors and smartphone-based devices and applications (SBDAs), mHealth, social media platforms, gene sequencing applications, personalized medical solutions and frameworks, etc. It then introduces the development of exercise medicine in combination with these concepts, such as exercise prescriptions and related applications, and finally, proposes future development directions.
