Abstract

Personalised healthcare can be defined as a customisation of the medical provision that accommodates \r\nindividual differences in all stages in the process, from prevention, to diagnosis and treatment, to \r\npost-treatment follow-up. While the term personalized medicine has a broader meaning, and it comes \r\nfrom the explosion of information arising from genome sequencing, the term personalised healthcare \r\nrefers more to the potential for customization in the provision of healthcare to the citizen.
