Introduction

Precision Healthcare: Patient Care, Decision Tools, Wearables, Legal and Ethical Issues emphasises the shift from generalised treatment to individualised, data-driven care. The book explores how intelligent decision-support systems, wearable technologies, and AI-enabled tools enhance diagnostics, improve clinical outcomes, and enable personalised patient monitoring.

The book offers a comprehensive and future-focused examination of the foundations of precision medicine, its objectives, challenges, policy implications, and the role of data-driven care. Chapters also investigate the transformative impact of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), convolutional neural network (CNN)-based respiratory disease detection, wearable health architectures, and AI/ML models for the prediction of neurological, cardiovascular, and metabolic diseases. Further sections highlight advancements in nanomedicine, the emerging influence of large language models in clinical workflows, and the essential legal, ethical, and regulatory frameworks ensuring safe and responsible AI integration in healthcare.

Foreword

As a senior pharmacologist with teaching experience of more than 38 years in the field of Healthcare, Management of Diseases, Quality of Life, Precision Medicines and Applications in clinical services, I believe that the book titled “Navigating Precision Healthcare: Patient Care, Decision Tools, Wearables, and the Legal-Ethical Landscape” will play an important role in teaching and learning of the students of health sciences, computer science with specialisation in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.

The editor’s acumen and knowledge in the fields of machine learning, computer science, and legal studies will provide a cutting-edge perspective in the book, offering insights from experts in medicine, technology, ethics, and law. Precision healthcare represents a paradigm shift in the way patient care is delivered, incorporating personalized treatment plans, advanced decision-making tools, especially in anti-cancer therapy.

In this book, the editors' aim is to provide healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, and patients with a deep understanding of the opportunities and challenges presented by precision healthcare. The enlisted chapters cover a wide range of topics, from the latest advancements in precision medicine to ethical considerations of using patient data in decision-making. The proposed book also delves into the legal implications of implementing precision healthcare practices, offering guidance on how to navigate this rapidly evolving landscape.

I hope that this book will serve as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the future of healthcare delivery. We believe that by exploring the combination of patient care, decision tools, wearables, and the legal and ethical landscape, we can collectively work towards a more personalized, efficient, and ethical healthcare system.
