Defining precision health: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Precision health is a nascent field of research that would benefit from clearer operationalisation and distinction from adjacent fields like precision medicine. This clarification is necessary to enable precision health science to tackle some of the most complex and significant health problems that are faced globally. There is a pressing need to examine the progress in human precision health research in the past 10 years and analyse this data to first, find similarities and determine discordances in how precision health is operationalised in the literature and second, identify gaps and future directions for precision health research.

Methods and analysis

To define precision health and map research in this field, a scoping review will be undertaken and reported a
