Precision Health Research and Implementation Reviewed Through Five Synergistic Principles

Abstract Background Precision health is a population-based approach that incorporates big-data strategies to understand the complex interactions between biological, environmental, lifestyle, and psychosocial factors that influence health. Purpose A promising tool to facilitate precision health research and its dissemination is the ConNECT Framework. Methods Here, we discuss the relationship of the five broad and synergistic principles within the ConNECT Framework as they may apply to nursing science research: (1) Integrating Context, (2) Fostering a Norm of Inclusion, (3) Ensuring Equitable Diffusion of Innovations, (4) Harnessing Communication Technology, and (5) Prioritizing Specialized Training. Discussion/Conclusion The principles within this framework can be used by nurse scientists and educators to guide and disseminate precision health research.
