The Patient-Centered Decision System as per the 4Ps of Precision Medicine

Abstract

Abstract So-called “P4 Medicine” (predictive, preventive, personalized, participative) represents the cornerstones of a model of clinical medicine, which offers concrete opportunities to modify the healthcare paradigm: the individual‘s participation becomes the key to put into practice the other three aspects of P4 with each patient. An active involvement of patients is necessary to guarantee effective self-management in asthma. It includes sharing decisions with patients for their clinical-therapeutical approach, the use of novel technologies to implement the patients participation in the disease management, to obtain significant and relevant improvement in patient reported outcomes, such as quality of life and asthma control.
