Precision Health in the Digital Age : Harnessing AI for Personalized Care

The evolving healthcare landscape is now challenging healthcare providers and researchers to deliver personalized care considering individual genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. To tailor treatments and interventions to each patient's unique profile in a timely manner, they need to harness the vast amounts of readily available data. Artificial intelligence (AI) has immense potential to revolutionize precision health by enabling the analysis of large datasets and generating actionable insights for personalized care. However, implementing AI in healthcare comes with challenges, including ethical considerations, regulatory frameworks, and the need for healthcare professionals to develop competencies in AI technologies. Precision Health in the Digital Age: Harnessing AI for Personalized Care offers a comprehensive solution for healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers seeking to leverage AI in precision health. The book explores the latest advancements in AI technologies, showcases their applications in precision medicine, and provides a roadmap for integrating AI into healthcare systems. It offers practical insights for improving patient outcomes through case studies and real-world examples of successful implementations of AI-driven precision medicine and health solutions.
