Precision Health Care for Sustainable Patient Centric Solutions

Abstract

The quest for sustainable healthcare amidst the rising cost and shrinking resources has led to the industrial uptake of essential technology that has impacted on the provision of healthcare services, subsequently triggering the mobility of patients seeking specialized healthcare services. Precision Health Care (PHC) seeks to harness technology in its delivery of bespoke patient centered diagnosis and treatment. This entails utilizing an individual's medical history and advanced decision support systems to tailor treatment prescriptions. With the increasing availability of healthcare data, PHC has the potential to break down the walls in realizing substantial benefits to all its stakeholders by providing valuable information integral for the delivery of personalized health support services to the patients and improved clinical decision support for the service provider. Understanding the role of a precise healthcare system paves way for a more intelligent healthcare ecosystem that's focused on prevention, early disease detection and personalized treatments through health data integration. This paper seeks to deconstruct the viability PHC in the context of knowledge discovery, privacy, data re-use and governance in the context of patient centric treatment solutions.
