The Coordinating Action Systems Medicine (CASyM) is a multidisciplinary European consortium that joined forces from academy, industry and government organizations to develop an implementation strategy (road map) for Systems Medicine in Europe. The CASyM road map is driven by clinical needs: it aims to identify areas where a systems approach will address clinical questions and solve clinical problems.

The aims of the roadmap

The aims of the roadmap are to:

explain the current state of the art and why we need Systems Medicine
identify the challenges for and opportunities of Systems Medicine
identify the stakeholders and initiate a dialogue between them
provide a vision for the implementation of Systems Medicine
provide examples for its application
formulate reasonable and achievable goals
provide a practical implementation guide for Systems Medicine

Stakeholder engagement

The construction of the Systems Medicine road map is based on a broad cross-disciplinary stakeholder consultation and community building process, centred on a series of focused conferences and workshops to collect expert views and opinions about essential topics for an implementation strategy for Systems Medicine.
