Dr. Sarah Wamala Andersson, Professor of Health and Welfare Technology, shared her vision of precision medicine as a holistic approach that addresses not only medical treatments but also broader determinants of health, including socioeconomic factors and community environments. She emphasized the importance of integrating precision medicine into preventive healthcare to keep individuals healthy and mitigate risk factors before they develop into illnesses. She discussed the global challenges of making precision medicine accessible to diverse populations, particularly in regions with young, underserved populations such as Africa and parts of Asia. Dr. Andersson advocated for fit-for-purpose training and bridging the global digital health divide to empower these populations. She highlighted the need for technologies and interventions that are accessible and tailored to the conditions of the people they aim to serve. Dr. Andersson commended the symposium for fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and inspiring young professionals by providing a platform for dialogue across fields such as medicine, engineering, and public health. She stressed the importance of breaking down silos to create innovative, inclusive solutions in healthcare.
