How you can be the co-creator of your own health
The vision for the next 10 years includes
- targeted support
- tailored lifestyle advice
- personalised care
- greater protection against future threats
The paper outlines how technological advances will make prevention effective. For instance genomics and artificial intelligence will help if a child inherits a rare disease – diagnosis and treatment could start in the womb so they are born healthy.
NHS information and smart devices worn by individuals will help create a new wave of intelligent public health where everyone has access to their health information which is more personalised.
The ideas is people will no longer be mere recipients, but instead, co-creators of their own health. The challenge is to equip them with the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to help themselves.
