AZTI INSIGHTS | NUTRITION & HEALTH. Omics Technologies and Precision Nutrition

What is it?

The report “Omics Technologies and Precision Nutrition. Science, data and personalisation to improve health through diet” brings together AZTI’s knowledge, experience and capabilities in clinical research, biomarkers, omics technologies, artificial intelligence and digital tools applied to precision nutrition. It shows how the integration of biological, clinical and lifestyle data is transforming the way nutritional strategies are designed to improve health and well-being. Drawing on scientific evidence, real-world cases and leading projects, it explains how understanding individual responses to diet can help advance more personalised, preventive and evidence-based approaches to nutrition.

What does this report offer?

Precision nutrition is based on an increasingly evident reality: not everyone responds to the same foods in the same way. Factors such as metabolic status, gut microbiota, physical activity, age and certain health conditions influence this response.

This report explains how technologies such as lipidomics, metabolomics and microbiome analysis provide objective information about an individual’s biological status and how, when combined with artificial intelligence, digital tools and clinical data, they facilitate the development of more precise nutritional recommendations tailored to each person’s needs.

It also shows the potential of these approaches to drive new solutions in areas such as prevention, metabolic health, sports nutrition, oncology nutrition and healthy ageing. The report also presents AZTI’s track record in this field, backed by more than a decade of research, over 20 scientific publications and the development of leading solutions and projects such as CoDiet, Lipiwell and Smart Nutrition Lab.
