**5. Future perspectives**

The development of a single definition for precision medicine will aid transdisciplinary areas with a shared understanding of concepts and enhance collaborative ideas. Standardization of HTS and analytical methods will make it easier to validate and replicate findings in clinically relevant timeframes. This, along with interdisciplinary cooperation, will allow it to be fully integrated into patient care and treatment via the development of novel diagnostic, predictive, and prognostic tests. The creation of broad conceptual frameworks that address the underlying drivers of health across specialized areas will be facilitated by the establishment of a shared precision medicine definition, which will promote collaboration between the transdisciplinary domains that make up precision medicine. It may be beneficial to establish a set of recommendations in the next 5–10 years to assist in deciding whether or not research activities or therapies fit precision medicine requirements. These principles might determine if the endeavor should include efforts to personalize therapies, a focus on genetics/biology, the environment, nutrition, and/or lifestyle, as well as the amount to which these distinct variables interact.
