Biosemiotic medicine: From an effect-based medicine to a process-based medicine
1Instituto Universitario del Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, Argentina. carlos.musso@hospitalitaliano.org.ar.
Abstract:
Contemporary medicine is characterized by an increasing subspecialization and the acquisition of a greater knowledge about the interaction among the different body structures (biosemiotics), both in health and disease. This article proposes a new conceptualization of the body based on considering it as a biological space (cells, tissues, and organs) and a biosemiotic space (exchange of signs among them). Its development would lead to a new subspecialty focused on the study and interference of disease biosemiotics (biosemiotic medicine), which would trigger a processbased medicine centered on early diagnosis and management of disease.
