Precision medicine is an emerging and novel approach for both disease treatment and prevention. Precision medicine allows to classify individuals into subpopulations that differ in their susceptibility to a particular disease with the aim to tailor the medical treatment to the individual characteristics of each patient. To provide precision medicine to patients researchers needs to analyze huge amounts of heterogeneous data from both biomedical research and healthcare systems. The growing amount of these data gives rise to the need for new research methods and analysis techniques. In this paper we present a infrastructure that exploits new strategies aimed at storing, accessing, and analyzing efficiently these heterogeneous data.

Abstract
Precision medicine is an emerging and novel approach for both disease treatment and prevention. Precision medicine allows to classify individuals into subpopulations that differ in their susceptibility to a particular disease with the aim to tailor the medical treatment to the individual characteristics of each patient. To provide precision medicine to patients researchers needs to analyze huge amounts of heterogeneous data from both biomedical research and healthcare systems. The growing amount of these data gives rise to the need for new research methods and analysis techniques. In this paper we present a infrastructure that exploits new strategies aimed at storing, accessing, and analyzing efficiently these heterogeneous data.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
