L2 LUNCH WORKSHOP

Personalised prevention

Thursday, 29.09.2016 | 12:00 - 13:30 | Hotel

The current trend towards patientcentred healthcare and the increasing focus on personalised medicine (PM), due to advances in genomic science, are paving the way for a more personalised approach to prevention as well.

Personalised prevention can be defined as the personalisation of risk assessment and interventions for the individual – at any age. This innovative approach will be the focus of the workshop, which will address questions such as:
– How can lessons and knowledge from personalised medicine be used for making prevention efforts more targeted and effective?
– How can increased knowledge regarding genomics and risk groups be translated into effective prevention interventions?
– What is the role for the digital sector, Big Data and electronic applications?
– What are the barriers for ensuring a personalised prevention approach (i.e. funding, silo-thinking, etc.)?
– How can personalised prevention as an essential part of PM contribute to a more holistic vision on health, well-being and healthcare?
