Genomics
Genomic testing is one of the most exciting advancements in personalised health. This involves analysing an individual’s genetic makeup, healthcare providers can identify predispositions to certain conditions and create bespoke preventative plans.
This proactive approach could significantly improve health outcomes and reduce the incidence of chronic diseases.
“Genomics is changing the way we think about healthcare and helping people to take proactive steps to prevent, or delay disease,” says Dr Tim Woodman, Medical Director of Bupa UK Insurance.

Wearables and precision medicine
Wearable devices, such as fitness trackers and smartwatches, play a crucial role in personalised health.
They provide real-time data on physical activity, heart rate, sleep patterns, and more.
This data can be used to monitor health trends and make informed decisions about lifestyle changes.
Precision medicine, which involves tailoring medical treatment to the individual characteristics of each patient, further enhances the effectiveness of personalised health plans.
Digital and clinical data
The integration of digital and clinical data is transformative.
By leveraging data from various sources, including electronic health records, wearable devices, and genomic testing, organisations could create comprehensive health profiles for their employees.
These profiles enable the development of personalised health plans that address individual risks and needs.
