PERSONALIZED MEDICINE GEBUNDEN

This book offers comprehensive coverage of the various aspects of personalized medicine as an
original approach to classifying  understanding  treating and preventing disease based on
individual biological differences. In the introductory section  it defines personalized
medicine as a way toward new medical practices and addresses the question: What can
personalized medicine offer citizens  medical professionals  reimbursement bodies and
stakeholders? Subsequent chapters discuss the technological aspects of personalized medicine:
data collection  comprehensive integration and handling of data  together with key enabling
factors in developing the requisite technological support for personalized medicine. Lastly 
the book explores the main issues shaping the implementation and development of personalized
medicine - education  stakeholder participation  infrastructure  a new approach to the
classification of disease and medical tests  regulatory frameworks  and new reimbursement
models - together with ethical  legal and social issues. Ultimately  the book calls for
interdisciplinarity and a radical change in the way we approach the health and wellbeing of
individuals.Target groups are medical doctors and researchers in the field of biomedicine  as
well as experts from the social sciences dealing with legal  economic and social aspects of
health system issues in general. Though the book will primarily benefit these groups of
professional experts  its content will also appeal to a far wider readership  as it deals with
a paradigm shift in one of society's main pillars - the health system.
