Salutogenomics
This neologism is composed out of "Salutogenesis" and "Omics".

Derivation

The word "salutogenomics" comes from salus = health, genesis = origin and omics, the latter describing biology ending in -omics, such as genomics, proteomics or metabolomics.

Meaning

Salutogenomics means the use of "Omics" for more accurate and individual health risk assesment in order to provide risk- and preference-based personalized health promotion and primary prevention. In accordance with "Salutogenesis", the goal of salutogenomics is to find more appropriate and efficient ways for individuals to use their resources in order to monitor and support their own health and well-being.
