Background: Precision
public health (PPH) is a developing public health model that takes help of high
resolution data, advanced analytics and targeted interventions to benefit
population health. Information gained by precision medicine, population is more
focused on, emphasising prevention, surveillance and equity.
Aims: By
systematic compilation of reviews and their analysis and evidence on precision,
public health, looking into its basics application and challenges and how to
apply it in future, keeping in mind present day public health system
Methods: by
systematic evaluation of reviews and their analysis using systematic reviews,
scoping reviews, narrative reviews and authoritative conceptual or policy
syntheses the focus was on precision public health and related approaches
priority was given to reviews published since 2015. Findings were combined
using narrative thematic synthesis.
Results: Precision
public health has been used for infectious disease surveillance, targeted
vaccination, environmental health monitoring and risk stratified prevention.
However, there is evidence showing limited impact on population challenges like
data quality and interoperability, algorithmic bias, privacy and governance
concerns, and the capability to aggravate present health unfairness if equity
is not specifically
Conclusion: Precision
public health is capable to improve the outcomes of interventions used for
public health for future benefits. It has to be thoroughly evaluated. The
infrastructure should be privacy preserving, transparent analysis, generating a
skilled workforce and governance structure that prioritise equity and public
