Centre for Digital Health Interventions Launches 'PRECIOUS' Service
Zurich, Monday, 17 March 2025.
The Centre for Digital Health Interventions debuts ‘PRECIOUS,’ a precision digital therapeutics initiative, highlighting a strong commitment to technological advancement in therapeutic design and trials.
Pioneering Digital Therapeutic Innovation
The Centre for Digital Health Interventions (CDHI), a collaborative initiative between the University of Zurich, University of St. Gallen, ETH Zurich, and the Singapore-ETH Centre [1], has launched its groundbreaking PRECIOUS service. This innovative platform focuses on the design and trial of precision digital therapeutics, marking a significant advancement in personalized healthcare delivery [2]. The initiative emphasizes the development of hyper-personalized interventions designed to optimize treatment outcomes and patient adherence [3].
Comprehensive Educational Integration
To support this innovative service, CDHI is implementing an extensive educational program, including the upcoming Precision Digital Therapeutics Summer School scheduled for August 25-29, 2025, in Zurich [4]. The program will bring together clinical experts, medical doctors, and caregivers to address real-world healthcare challenges through digital therapeutics [4]. The initiative demonstrates CDHI’s commitment to developing scalable and self-improving digital health interventions, utilizing advanced technologies such as wearable sensors, mobile applications, and social media platforms [1].
Global Impact and Future Directions
The timing of this launch aligns with growing global interest in digital health innovations, as evidenced by the upcoming Digital Health Festival in Melbourne (May 13-14, 2025), which expects to attract over 8,000 healthcare leaders [5]. The PRECIOUS initiative represents a significant step forward in the digital health landscape, particularly as healthcare systems worldwide seek more efficient and personalized treatment approaches [1][2]. The program’s emphasis on precision therapeutics comes at a crucial time when digital health interventions are increasingly recognized as essential tools for managing chronic physical and mental health conditions [1].
