From discovery to proof: a Translation Evidence Map for precision psychiatry
The Personal View discusses examples spanning inflammatory and circuit-based depression stratification, psychosis relapse monitoring, and suicidality monitoring, illustrating how the Map makes claim maturity, stopping points, stakeholder roles, and trade-offs important to patients explicit. Precision psychiatry aims to improve individual-patient decisions by measuring clinically meaningful heterogeneity, not by privileging any one data type, biomarker (measurable biological signal), or analytical method.
