    This report is the collective product of word-leading experts working in the branches of integrative medicine by predictive, preventive and personalised medicine (PPPM) under the coordination of the European Association for Predictive, Preventive and Personalised Medicine. The general report has been prepared as the consortium document proposed at the EPMA World Congress 2011 which took place in Bonn, Germany. This forum analyzed the overall deficits and trends relevant for the top-science and daily practice in PPPM focused on the patient. Follow-up consultations resulted in a package of recommendations for consideration by research units, educators, healthcare industry, policy-makers, and funding bodies to cover the current knowledge deficit in the field and to introduce integrative approaches for advanced diagnostics, targeted prevention, treatments tailored to the person and cost-effective healthcare

    EPMA was created in 2009 as the Forum for Predictive, Preventive and Personalised Medicine (PPPM). During the 8 years since then, EPMA meetings – in the form of world congresses and international summits [1- 3] – have traditionally included multi-professional presentations, discussions, considerations, publications, and consolidation in the field of PPPM. The EPMA Journal releases over 90% of publications dedicated to PPPM worldwide, acting as the leading journal in the field. EPMA currently comprises a network of over 50 countries globally, actively contributing to the innovative concepts of PPPM. For more information, please see www.epmanet.eu The EPMAWorld Congress 2017 in Malta is specifically focused on the following topics: PPPM in Cancer, PPPM in Neurodegenerative Neurological Neuropsychiatric Disorders (NNND), PPPM in Cardiovascular Disease, PPPM in Diabetes Mellitus and related pathologies, PPPM in Dentistry, Innovative Technologies in PPPM, and Innovative PPPM Strategies in Healthcare.

    Medicine in the early twenty-first century: Paradigm and anticipation - EPMA position paper 2016

    Get PDF
    Challenges of “standardisation” and “individualisation” have always been characteristic for medical services. In terms of individualisation, the best possible individual care is the ethical imperative of medicine, and it is a good right of any patient to receive it. However, in terms of standardisation, all the available treatments are based on guideline recommendations derived from large multi-centre trials with many thousands of patients involved. In the most optimal way, the standardisation and individualisation should go hand-in-hand, in order to identify the right patient treating him/her with the right medication and the right dose at the right time point! Further, in paradigm and anticipation, there is a big discrepancy between “disease care” and “health care” which dramatically impacts ethical and economical aspects of medical services. Several approaches have been suggested in ancient and modern medicine to conduct medical services in a possibly optimal way. What is the difference amongst all of them and how big is the potential beyond corresponding approach to satisfy the needs of the individual, the patient, professional groups involved and society at large? On behalf of the “European Association for Predictive, Preventive and Personalised Medicine,” the dedicated EPMA working group provides a deep analysis in the issue followed by the expert recommendations considering the multifaceted aspects of both “disease care” and “health care” practices including ethics and economy, life quality of individuals and patients, interests of professional groups involved, benefits of subpopulations, health care system(s) and society as a whole
