Designed to provide expert viewpoints and research on medical innovations and advanced healthcare using predictive diagnostics, targeted preventive measures, and personalised patient treatments, The PPPH model is expected to make care more viable and sustainable by taking preventive measures for the control of health and diagnosing and treating patients with a personalised focus in the early stages of the illness.
Decade ago, the proposition that healthcare is evolving from reactive disease care to care that is predictive, preventive, personalised and participatory was regarded as highly speculative. Today, the core elements of that vision are widely accepted and have been articulated in a series of recent reports by the US Institute of Medicine. Systems approaches to biology and medicine are now beginning to provide patients, consumers, and physicians with personalized information about everyone’s unique health experience of both health and disease at the molecular, cellular and organ levels. This information will make disease care radically more cost effective by personalising care to each person’s unique biology and by treating the causes rather than the symptoms of disease. It will also provide the basis for concrete action by consumers to improve their health as they observe the impact of lifestyle decisions. Working together in digitally powered familial and affinity networks, consumers will be able to reduce the incidence of the complex chronic diseases that currently account for 75% of disease-care costs.
