Several innovations have revolutionized the healthcare sector in recent years. Digitalization, personalized medicine, Advanced Cell, and Tissue Engineering, and AI are some keywords associated with improving the prevention and therapy of diseases, i.e., to combat our crisis of non-communicable diseases.

One of the key areas where innovation has had a profound impact is precision medicine. Precision medicine seeks to understand the unique genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors contributing to an individual's health and disease risk. Through advancements in genomics, proteomics, and other molecular profiling techniques, healthcare providers can now gain a deeper understanding of a patient's molecular makeup. This knowledge allows for targeted interventions and therapies tailored to the specific needs of each individual, maximizing treatment efficacy and minimizing adverse effects.

Furthermore, the development of advanced diagnostic tools has greatly enhanced the accuracy and efficiency of disease detection and monitoring. Innovations such as high-resolution imaging technologies, wearable sensors, and liquid biopsies have revolutionized the diagnostic landscape.

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms has further augmented the capabilities of healthcare management and precision medicine capabilities.

This book aims to bring up-to-date new ideas, opinions, development, and critical issues in healthcare and personalized medicine. We are interested in relevant articles covering a broad range of topics, such as:
- Advances in medical devices
- Digitalization and data-driven technologies
- AI and algorithm-based drug development (molecule building, enhancement, clinical trials)
- Diagnostic imaging
- Personalized medicine
- Nutrition
- Oral health care
- Healthcare management in certain diseases and population groups
- Regulatory developments
- Data management
- Digital Healthcare

Philipp Plugmann has been doing multidisciplinary work for the last 20 years in parallel to practicing as a dentist in his own clinic in Leverkusen, Germany. He is also full Professor of Interdisciplinary Periodontology and Prevention at SRH University of Applied Health Sciences and Chair Professor for Susainability and CSR at the WOXSEN University, Hyderabad, India. His first book on innovation in medical technology, published in 2011, was reviewed by Cisco. His second book on innovation, published with Springer in 2018, had more than 100,000 chapter downloads during the first thirty months after its release. Previously, he held multiple adjunct faculty appointments for over fifteen years, winning multiple teaching awards. He also holds an MBA in Health Care Management, an MSc in Business Innovation (both from the EBS University of Business and Law, Germany), and an MSc in Periodontology and Implant Therapy (DGParo, German Society for Periodontology); he is currently pursuinghis third doctorate. Prof. Plugmann has given research talks in the field of innovation at conferences at Harvard Business School (USA), Berkeley Haas School of Business (USA), Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition (Germany), Max Planck Institute for Social Law and Social Policy (Germany) and Nanyang Technological University (Singapore). He is a serial entrepreneur and advisor to several companies, including a global technology consultancy as a Senior Advisor for Life Science and Health Care. Since 2020, he is a reviewer for the Federal Health Bulletin (Bundesgesundheitsblatt) and since 2024 Book peer reviewer for Springer USA, New York. In 2023 he was co-author of a publication which was awarded with the Heinz-Erpenstein-Price of the German Society of Periodontology.

Dr. rer. nat. Dorothea Portius combines extensive expertise in nutritional science and research with practical experience in the healthcare sector. Her academic career began with a PhD at the University of Geneva, followed by in-depth research projects in San Diego, USA. She expanded her expertise with a certification in clinical trial management and further training in functional nutrition coaching. In 2020, she returned to Germany to further strengthen the link between scientific research and practical healthcare. She is currently working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg and as a freelance Medical & Nutrition Advisor for various companies and start-ups in the healthcare industry. Through her work on various expert committees, such as the advisory board of the German Obesity Society (DAG) and the German Society for Nutritional Psychology (DGEP), she makes significant contributions to critical discourses in the healthcare sector. As co-founder of the start-up F-50, she plays a vital role in the development of a digital self-help program for people with eating disorder symptoms. Her commitment to knowledge transfer is reflected in publications and books and her role as a nutrition expert for German TV shows.
