Abstract

In the target article, Kraft and colleagues (2018) use the term “precision medicine” to denote the ongoing shift towards large-scale, population-based network or so-called systems approaches in biomedicine. Alternative language, however, such as “personalized” and “stratified” medicine, also exists to describe these approaches.
