PRECISE – Innovative Precision Health
Precision Health strives to enable an attractive and sustainable society that promotes good health throughout the life span. The approach can be summarized as increasing accuracy, in order to make the right interventions at the right time. PRECISE is a strategic investment for ground-breaking research within Precision Health.
PRECISE – Sustainable Precision Health for the attractive society, is a designated Future area at Luleå University of Technology. In collaboration between the university and various stakeholders in society, the aim is groundbreaking research for a healthy future. PRECISE is an interdisciplinary environment where several different research subjects work together. The research is about precision health at the molecular, individual and societal level.
The area of Precision Health is a new innovative area that has gained a lot of attention by both Swedish and international authorities and research funders. It covers several of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, including for good health and well-being as well as sustainable cities and communities.
By strong partnerships with external stakeholders, PRECISE will contribute to positioning Luleå University of Technology as a leading actor in developing the new attractive healthy society.
Examples of various interdisciplinary research areas within PRECISE:
- Early and accurate detection of diseases and risk factors for ill-health.
- Individual measures for monitoring and rehabilitation.
- Attractive, inclusive, and health-promoting environments.
PRECISE covers several of the UN's global sustainability goals, including number 3, Good health and well-being and number 11, Sustainable cities and communities.
Precision Health at Luleå University of Technology:
Precision health promotes health equity across the lifespan by increasing the accuracy of interventions at the molecular, individual and community levels. Through increased knowledge of human biology, lifestyle and environment, we develop new methods that enable the right intervention, at the right time and in the right context.
