Individualized interventions and precision health: Lessons learned from a systematic review and implications for analytics-driven geriatric research.

ABSTRACT: Older adults are characterized by profound clinical heterogeneity. When designing and delivering interventions, there exist multiple approaches to account for heterogeneity.
