Webinar Title: Mapping of the state-of-the-art and bottlenecks for the adoption of personalized preventive approaches in Europe and beyond – insights from the PROPHET Project
Presenter: Ms. Sara Farina, MD, Resident in Hygiene, Preventive Medicine and Public Health at UCSC, Rome
Abstract: Personalised prevention has immense potential for public health. In the framework of the European Commission-funded project “PROPHET”, a scoping review delves into existing personalised preventive approaches for chronic diseases and the persisting bottlenecks hindering their full implementation. The findings underscore cancer as a primary target for personalised prevention, with tertiary prevention strategies being the most widely adopted. Despite promising strides, challenges in ethical aspects and limited knowledge among healthcare professionals represent significant barriers, emphasising the need to prioritise personalised prevention on research and policy agendas. Addressing these challenges worldwide is pivotal to fully unlocking the potential and transformative impact of personalised prevention on public health.
