Precision Health: Nature Medicine presents a special Focus dedicated to precision health.

From the abstract: "As healthcare becomes increasingly data-driven and precise, we ask what it means to deliver precision health — that is, the tailoring of preventive or treatment approaches to groups or individuals on the basis of certain characteristics — in different geographical and clinical contexts. This issue includes a variety of news, opinion, review and original research articles on critical areas and challenges that must be addressed to make precision health a global reality. "

What will it take to make precision health a global reality

From the article: "In this special issue, we ask what it means to deliver precision health — that is, tailoring preventive or treatment approaches to groups of people or individual people on the basis of certain characteristics — in different geographical and clinical contexts. Alongside the big questions addressing infrastructure, capacity, policy and access, our ‘Turning points’ articles zoom in on researchers’ personal stories of what precision health means to them, and how they came to dedicate their careers to this cause. "

A new agenda for implementing population genomic screening

"Nearly a decade into the proliferation of population genomic screening programs, it is clear that such programs provide benefit in certain contexts. Determining whether these programs provide net positive outcomes across diverse populations, however, will require a significant shift in approach and scale. This shift can be modeled on a precision health research agenda that capitalizes on pragmatic and implementation science methods, learning health system principles, and stakeholder engagement. Acknowledging that research and clinical implementation must coexist will help us realize the promise of population genomic screening."

Sustaining Community Engagement in Genomics Research: A Workshop

From the website: "This hybrid workshop will examine how researchers could more meaningfully engage and sustain interactions with historically underrepresented communities in research to foster their participation in genomics and precision health studies. The overarching goal of the workshop is to help improve the quality of genomics research by understanding where obstacles to sustained community involvement remain. "
