3D Sapiotyping: A Three Dimensional Definition.

Area of Science:

• Diabetology
• Medical Sociology
• Patient-Centered Care

Background:

• Precision medicine and personalized care are increasingly important in diabetes management.
• Current classifications of diabetes patients often overlook individual attitudes and experiences.
• The concept of 'sapiotype' captures diverse patient attitudes towards diabetes and healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

• To expand the existing sapiotypic spectrum.
• To introduce a novel 3-dimensional model for understanding patient attitudes in diabetes.
• To enhance personalized care strategies in diabetology.

Main Methods:

• Conceptual expansion of the sapiotypic spectrum.
• Development of a 3-dimensional model based on existing literature and clinical observations.
• Analysis of the multidimensional nature of patient attitudes.

Main Results:

• A new 3-dimensional model is proposed to represent the sapiotypic spectrum.
• This model accounts for the complexity and fluidity of patient attitudes.
• The model provides a framework for categorizing diverse patient-doctor and patient-healthcare interactions.

Conclusions:

• The proposed 3-dimensional sapiotypic model offers a more comprehensive understanding of patient attitudes in diabetes.
• This framework can aid in tailoring personalized care and improving patient engagement.
• Further research is needed to validate and apply this model in clinical practice.
