Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) remain the largest global public health threat. The emerging field of precision public health (PPH) offers a transformative opportunity to capitalize on digital health data to create an agile, responsive and data-driven public health system to actively prevent NCDs. Using learnings from digital health, our aim is to propose a vision toward PPH for NCDs across three horizons of digital health transformation: Horizon 1-digital public health workflows; Horizon 2-population health data and analytics; Horizon 3-precision public health. This perspective provides a high-level strategic roadmap for public health practitioners and policymakers, health system stakeholders and researchers to achieving PPH for NCDs. Two multinational use cases are presented to contextualize our roadmap in pragmatic action: and (USA), a mature PPH platform for multiple NCDs, and (Australia), a proof-of-concept population health informatics tool to monitor and prevent obesity. Our intent is to provide a strategic foundation to guide new health policy, investment and research in the rapidly emerging but nascent area of PPH to reduce the public health burden of NCDs.
非传染性疾病（NCDs）仍然是全球最大的公共卫生威胁。新兴的精准公共卫生（PPH）领域提供了一个变革的机会，可以利用数字健康数据来创建一个灵活、响应迅速和数据驱动的公共卫生系统，积极预防 NCDs。借鉴数字健康的经验，我们旨在通过数字健康转型的三个层面为 NCDs 提出 PPH 的愿景：第 1 层面-数字公共卫生工作流程；第 2 层面-人口健康数据和分析；第 3 层面-精准公共卫生。本观点为公共卫生从业者和政策制定者、卫生系统利益相关者和研究人员提供了实现 NCDs 的 PPH 的高层战略路线图。提出了两个跨国用例，以在实际行动中使我们的路线图具体化： 和 （美国），一个用于多种 NCD 的成熟的 PPH 平台，和 （澳大利亚），一个用于监测和预防肥胖的人口健康信息学工具的概念验证。我们的目的是提供一个战略基础，以指导新的卫生政策、投资和研究在快速出现但仍处于萌芽阶段的 PPH 领域，以减轻 NCD 的公共卫生负担。
