ABSTRACT

Objectives:

to discuss the foundations, applications, challenges, and perspectives of precision nursing in contemporary practice, with an emphasis on the incorporation of genomic technologies, biomarkers, artificial intelligence and symptom science.

Methods:

a theoretical-reflective study based on recent scientific evidence.

Results:

nurses occupy a strategic position to lead the translation of precision medicine knowledge into clinical practice, especially in symptom management and personalized decision-making. Ongoing studies on inflammatory biomarkers, gastrointestinal disorders, symptomatic distress, and the use of digital devices in self-care stand out. Ethical, structural, and training challenges persist, such as curricular reformulation, professional training, and equity in access to innovations.

Final Considerations:

precision nursing can transform care by enabling more effective, safe, and person-centered interventions. It is essential to strengthen data science, foster translational nursing research, and promote its gradual integration into care practice.
