The current understanding of precision medicine and personalised medicine in selected research disciplines: study protocol of a systematic concept analysis.

Journal: BMJ open
Published Date: Sep 7, 2022

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The terms 'precision medicine' and 'personalised medicine' have become key terms in health-related research and in science-related public communication. However, the application of these two concepts and their interpretation in various disciplines are heterogeneous, which also affects research translation and public awareness. This leads to confusion regarding the use and distinction of the two concepts. Our aim is to provide a snapshot of the current understanding of these concepts.
