Abstract
Abstract Background Precision health aims to prevent and predict illness, maintaining health and quality of life for as long as possible, by drawing on the new technological and data science tools to translate volumes of research and clinical data into information that citizens, patients and doctors can use. Objective The ExACT consortium, funded by the Marie Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) 2017 - Horizon 2020, is aimed at building a community of academic and non-academic institutions that generates high quality, multidisciplinary collaboration by exchanging knowledge in research and training activities on precision health. Results From 2019 to 2023, 74 secondments are foreseen; staff involved will be trained on precision health research topics unavailable at their home institutions. The research topics include 5 domains: Integration of Big Data and digital solutions into healthcare systems; design and promotion of innovative citizen engagement models; education of healthcare professionals and leadership; HTA in precision health; Ethical-legal, social, organisational and policy issues surrounding precision health. Conclusions Secondees will produce key reports, policy recommendations, scientific papers, and informative materials for citizens, fostering public-private interplay and fostering integration of precision health in the EU health systems, contributing to better health for EU citizens. Key messages Once the secondees are back in their home institution, they will use competences acquired during the secondment to advance the research, and transfer the knowledge to the home organization. Sharing knowledge,building synergies and expertise and encouraging best practices,among top-level institutions,will stimulate translational effort for implementing precision health in EU health system.
