Delighted to be at the launch of the #PhysiologyPassport report at House of Commons today with @physoc.bsky.social. A great discussion on the opportunities that arise with personalised prevention

A central recommendation of this report is the creation of personalised Physiology Passports presenting a unique opportunity to integrate diverse biomarkers, defined characteristics that indicate biological processes in health and disease, to support personalised prevention.

Its good to see the AI Opportunities Action Plan published today. Commitment to support infrastructure, skills capacity and regulation is welcome, but public support and confidence will be essential for success. www.gov.uk/government/p...
