Abstract

Personalized health is a modern healthcare approach that aims to develop individual-specific strategies for the prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of diseases by evaluating individuals’ genetic, biological, and clinical data, as well as environmental and lifestyle characteristics, together. Supported by technological advancements, this approach moves away from the traditional healthcare model and transforms into a more person-centered structure. In recent years, with advances in genomic science, the proliferation of digital health technologies, and the development of artificial intelligence-based tools, it has begun to be integrated into clinical practice. This review addresses the concept of personalized health and its integration with the existing system, as well as the role of digital technologies and artificial intelligence that contribute to the process

Sağlıkta Gelecek Kişiye Özel: Dijital Devrimin İzinde

Abstract

Kişiselleştirilmiş sağlık, bireylerin genetik, biyolojik, klinik verileri, çevresel ve yaşam tarzı özeliklerinin bir arada değerlendirilerek, hastalıkların önlenmesi, erken teşhisi ve tedavisinde kişiye özgü stratejiler geliştirilmesini hedefleyen modern bir sağlık hizmeti yaklaşımıdır. Teknolojik gelişmelerle desteklenen bu yaklaşım, geleneksel sağlık hizmeti modelinden uzaklaşarak daha birey odaklı bir yapıya dönüşmektedir. Son yıllarda genomik bilimindeki ilerlemeler, dijital sağlık teknolojilerinin yaygınlaşması ve yapay zeka temelli araçların gelişimiyle birlikte, klinik pratiğe entegre edilmeye başlanmıştır. Bu derlemede, kişiselleştirilmiş sağlık kavramı ve mevcut sistemle entegrasyonu, sürece katkı sağlayan dijital teknolojiler ve yapay zekanın rolü ele alınmıştır
