In this Section we highlight what Personalized prevention is and how it could help prevent diseases in a timely, effective and equitable way. Personalized Prevention aims to prevent the onset, progression, and recurrence of diseases through targeted interventions that consider biological information (e.g., genetic and other biomarkers, demographics, health conditions), environmental and behavioural characteristics, and the socio-economic and cultural context of individuals. By integrating multiple sources of individual-level information, personalised prevention can support earlier, more tailored, and potentially more effective preventive strategies compared to traditional approaches.
