| Sumari: | Over the next decades, the world will undergo profound changes, with its population approaching ten billion, senior citizens making up one out of five, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) increasingly outnumbering infectious diseases [1], and healthcare costs threatening to reach an ever higher percentage of countries’ GDPs. As daunting as these figures might appear, new scientific insights and technological opportunities coming at an unprecedented pace promise new perspectives and potential solutions to currently unmet needs. ‘Omics’ diagnostics will revolutionize the way we approach prevention, personalize nutrition in healthcare, and how a patient is to be defined. Novel nutrition therapeutic findings will transform disease management, and the microbiome will become a new force in targeting holistic healthcare solutions.This article presents pertinent focus areas to encourage dialogue with regulators, policy makers, healthcare professionals and other stakeholders to revisit current regulatory and policy frameworks at the food-medicine continuum and their respective interpretation, with regards to healthcare. |
