Precision medicine and digital phenotyping: Digital medicine's way from more data to better health

Precision medicine and digital phenotyping are two prominent data-based approaches within medicine. While precision historically used primarily genetic data to find targeted treatment options, relies on the usage of big deriving from devices such as smartphones, wearables other connected devices. This paper first focusses aspect type explore differences similarities between phenotyping. It outlines different ways collection production consequences thereof. Second, it shows how these sorts influence dominant beliefs in field: The field relying understanding ‘genetic determinism’ imported genetics, building logic ‘data fundamentalism’. In end, analysis informs potentials well challenges phenotyping: a better health care for (some) individuals with individualisation responsibilisation all, prognosed shift reactive preventive Additionally, might facilitate epistemological ontological redirections whole that will also affect knowledge reassessment value types (quantifiable vs. non-quantifiable) all its consequences.
