Neurodegenerative diseases constitute a growing challenge for public health due to their clinical and biological complexity, as well as the absence of effective curative treatments. This article provides a critical and updated review on the current state of personalized medicine applied to these pathologies, emphasizing its potential to optimize diagnosis, prognosis and therapies by integrating biomarkers, genetic profiling and omics technologies together with artificial intelligence. A systematic analysis of the relevant scientific literature of the last decade was performed, selecting studies that address scientific advances, technological, ethical and economic challenges associated with clinical implementation. The results highlight significant advances in the identification of specific biomarkers, targeted therapies and predictive models based on artificial intelligence, although important barriers persist such as technological limitations, the need for specialized training, ethical concerns about privacy and high costs. It is concluded that the consolidation of personalized medicine in neurodegenerative diseases requires a multidisciplinary and comprehensive approach to overcome these challenges and ensure its accessibility and clinical efficacy.
