[Registration Closed] (Hybrid Format) Expert Meeting “Innovations Required to Achieve Precision Psychiatry” (January 22, 2025)

Tags: Mental Health
Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) is holding an expert meeting titled “Innovations Required to Achieve Precision Psychiatry” on January 22, 2025.
The reality and challenges of mental disorders have a significant impact on our contemporary society, regardless of the country or region. In Japan, the number of patients with mental disorders reached approximately 4,193,000 in 2017, the highest among the five major diseases (cancer, stroke, acute myocardial infarction, diabetes and mental illness). Furthermore, in the field of psychiatry, there are many challenges regarding the diagnosis, appropriate treatment and post-diagnosis support for mental disorders. Particularly, issues such as the lack of objective evaluation indicators such as biomarkers and the fact that existing therapeutic medication are only partially effective due to patients’ individual differences.
In response to these challenges, a paradigm shift is warranted from the classical categorical diagnostic approach to a ‘dimensional approach’, in which patients and their symptoms are defined from different continuums from different perspectives rather than just assigning them to categories. At the same time, the need for ‘Precision Psychiatry’, which provides treatment and support tailored to individual genes, medical conditions, environment and backgrounds, has been recognized internationally. The development of new personalized psychiatric care for patients with mental disorders and related cognitive dysfunctions is already underway in many countries around the world, including Japan, and promoting and encouraging its development will require the collaboration of diverse stakeholders, that are not restricted to academia, but also companies, parties, their families, and supporters.
Thus, this meeting aims to elicit and develop discussions with diverse stakeholders, including patients and parties, on the ideal approach to the realization of Precision Psychiatry.
*Please note that the deadline for on-site registration is 23:59 on Monday, January 20th, 2025.
