Theranostics for P4 Medicine

The main aim of the F2F meeting "Theranostics for P4-Medicine" was to collect opinions from international experts in order to identify long term future needs and bottlenecks in the exploitation of Theranostics for a Predictive, Preventive, Personalized and Participatory Medicine (P4-Medicine). The interdisciplinary character of the meeting led to the elaboration of scenarios related to health societal challenges and the definition of a strategic roadmap for innovative medicine based on individual needs. After a specific analysis of four major disease areas (cardiovascular, metabolic, oncological, neurological and neurodegenerative diseases) a wide-ranging interdisciplinary brainstorming session took place. An effort was made to highlight the most intriguing elements, the most interesting needs, the most promising current technologies useful for scientific research and innovation within the framework of P4-Medicine.
