- patients benefit from preventive treatment or early disease intervention before onset of symptoms;
- prevention and early diagnosis of disease combined with better understanding of the mechanisms involved, leading to the development of more cost-effective strategies;
- patients benefitting from improved healthcare through regular monitoring of critical parameters using validated tools;
- development of new vaccine strategies targeted to specific sub-populations;
