A paradigm shift: from precision medicine to precision health in neurodegenerative conditions and aging
The paradigm shift from precision medicine to precision health is an evolution from a disease-centric model to a holistic, preventative one, and this is particularly evident in the field of neurological conditions and aging. While precision medicine focuses on treating existing illness with tailored interventions, precision health aims to maintain wellness and prevent disease before it occurs. This transition is profoundly shaped by new discoveries in the genetics of neurological conditions and aging.
