Professor Uta Francke, Stanford School of Medicine, stated that, in earlier times, medicine focused on reactive measures by responding to symptoms. Nowadays, a fundamental shift in medicine is taking place. This revolution is characterized by four features that are known as P4 Medicine: personalized, predictive, preventive and participatory. The new trends also pave the way for new possibilities. Patients participate actively and make their data available. When comparing sets, it has been observed that variations of different genomes have minor consequences, while combined genetic variations and environmental factors cause diseases such as diabetes. In order to make progress in research, it is imperative to capture not only the gene analysis but also the reactions and feedback by patients and compare these data. For this, web-based participatory research plays an important role.
