Sažetak
Personalised medicine has the potential to embrace a pro-active, pre-emptive, participative and preventive approach to the health and wellbeing of all citizens. This is why it represents one of the key concepts of contemporary public health. This potential of personalised approach to the entire health care can be highlighted through the concept of proactive P4 medicine (predictive, preventive, personalised, and participatory), where public health initiatives become participatory health initiatives, based on the inclusiveness of participatory biocitizens, taking action in participatory health communities. This calls for a new taxonomy of health and disease and a re-definition of health-care, which now has to be understood more as a process than as a system. At the centre of this new paradigm is an individual who has to be empowered to manage one’s own health and disease. The health literacy initiative plays the key-role in this inclusiveness, especially in the context of healthy aging.
