SESSION REQUIRES ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION ($). Precision health is an emerging approach for disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment that considers individual patient variability versus traditional approaches which focus on the "average" person without accounting for individual differences. Precision health considers not only genes, medications and comorbidities, but also aspects related to social, environmental and behavioral disease determinants. This session will provide a comprehensive overview of aspects of precision health, including disease biomarkers, pharmacogenomics, pyschosocial and behavioral considerations to improve outcomes and lead the future of rheumatologic care.
