RESUMO
In the present state of healthcare, usual medical care is generally given to the already diseased person, while the key link-personal health monitoring underlain by predictive, preventive, and personalised medicine (PPPM) techniques that are being intensively elaborated worldwide-is simply missing. It is this link, based on the recognition of subclinical conditions, prediction, and further preventive measures, that is capable of regulating morbidity and diminishing the rates of disability among able-bodied population, thus significantly cutting the traditionally high costs of treating the already diseased people. To achieve the above-mentioned goal-the elaboration of the PPPM concept and its practical implementation-it is necessary to create a fundamentally new strategy based upon the subclinical recognition of the signs-bioindicators of cryptic abnormalities long before the disease clinically manifests itself. The implementation of PPPM programme requires an adjusted technology for the proper interpretation of diagnostic data, which would allow for the current 'physician-patient' model to be gradually replaced by a novel model, 'medical advisor-healthy men-at-risk'. This is the reason for an additional need in organising combinatorial scientific, clinical, training and educational projects in the area of PPPM to elicit the content of this new branch of medicine.
