Left: A genetic disorder (medical problem) is treated through targeted gene therapy (biological solution), yielding improved health (health outcome). Right: Severe urban air pollution (urban problem) is tackled with a sensor-AI-driven air-quality management system (tech solution), producing cleaner air and public-health gains (urban outcome). The panel is illustrative only, highlighting the conceptual bridge between precision medicine and precision urban intervention; quantitative results appear later in the paper.
