What is Precision Health

What is Precision Health?

Precision health develops interventions for individuals and populations to improve diagnosis, treatment and patient care. Rather than using a traditional one-size-fits-all approach, precision health is based on individualized factors, such as genetics, environment and lifestyle.

  

For Missouri, for Society, for the World

Dedicated to solving the world's greatest health challenges, research through the 91Ï㽶¶ÌÊÓƵ's NextGen Precision Health initiative provides major returns on investment through healthier communities, better educational opportunities for students, accelerated economic growth and game-changing precision health technologies for Missouri and beyond.
