Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aging population presents an unprecedented challenge for healthcare systems worldwide, demanding innovative approaches tailored to the unique needs of older adults. Personalised medicine in geriatrics leverages advancements in genetic profiling, biomarkers, and digital health technologies and seeks to tailor treatments and management strategies to the unique characteristics of each older person, integrating genetic data, biomarkers, environmental factors, and clinical conditions to optimise outcomes.
In recent decades, geriatric care has transitioned from standardized treatment models to more patient-centric approaches. Advances in precision medicine, pharmacogenomics, and artificial intelligence have accelerated this shift, allowing clinicians to move beyond generalized protocols and embrace therapies designed for the biological and environmental nuances of each individual.
This Special Issue aims at exploring the latest developments in personalized management and therapy for older adults. We seek to highlight novel methodologies in patient assessment, diagnostics, treatment customization, and holistic care models, ensuring that geriatric medicine evolves to meet the demands of an aging population. Our focus spans pharmaceutical adaptations, non-pharmacological interventions, predictive analytics, and policy implications for personalized healthcare. In addition, patient-centred models of care and prevention strategies designed to improve quality of life and promote autonomy are explored.
This collection will showcase pioneering research in geriatrics, from discovering biomarkers in ageing, modelling diagnostic tools to individualized drug regimens (including AI-driven) and integrated care frameworks. We welcome contributions detailing real-world applications, clinical trials, and interdisciplinary collaborations that push the boundaries of geriatric treatment paradigms.
We invite original research articles, meta-analyses, comprehensive reviews, and other types that advance the understanding and implementation of personalized approaches in geriatric care. Submissions should offer evidence-based insights, innovative methodologies, and practical recommendations for tailoring healthcare solutions to older adults.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and to advancing the conversation on personalized management and therapy in geriatrics.
