In healthcare, the realisation of an optimistic prognosis against
pessimistic ones depends on current innovations in diagnostic and
cost-effective treatment approaches being widely adopted in clinical
practice. Utilisation of advanced early and predictive diagnostics,
targeted prevention and personalised medical approaches could enable the
elderly subpopulation to reach the 100-year age limit in good physical
and mental health, as actively contributing members of society. This
task requires intelligent political regulations and creation of new
guidelines to advance current healthcare systems. In this book, we will
collect contributions from several geopolitical regions of Europe, Asia
and USA that provide expert opinion on healthcare organisation and
outlook as well as economical aspects of personalised medicine.
