Precision public health (PPH) integrates genomic information, big data analytics, and advanced epidemiological methods to enhance disease prevention and population health strategies. This paper reviews recent advances in PPH from 2023 to 2025, highlighting applications in infectious disease surveillance, chronic disease prevention, and healthcare policy planning. Emphasis is placed on integrating genomic data with environmental, behavioral, and social determinants of health. Challenges related to data privacy, equity, and implementation are discussed. The study demonstrates that precision public health holds substantial promise for improving population-level health outcomes while supporting evidence-based policymaking.
