Genomics

39.6K
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

2.0K
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Principles of Disease Surveillance

466
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

2.7K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Concepts of Health and Illness

17.2K
Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...

The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.

Area of Science:

  • Integrative Health
  • Complexity Science
  • Population Health Management

Background:

  • Current healthcare models rely on linear causality and reductionism, failing to address holistic health dimensions.
  • There's a need for frameworks that incorporate lived, relational, and spiritual aspects of health, especially amidst uncertainty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce the Multiplex Health (MH) framework as an alternative to conventional healthcare models.
  • Demonstrate MH's applicability in Population Health Management (PHM) through a mental health case study.

Main Methods:

  • Rooted in critical complexity theory, multiplex ontology, and epistemology.
  • Integrates six core principles: multiplex ontology, multiplex epistemology, pluralistic modeling, critical complexity, triangulated science, and comparative multiplex ethics.
  • Employs a case study approach focusing on mental health within PHM.

Main Results:

  • MH provides a foundational framework for advancing PHM by foregrounding behavioral, ethical, and conceptual dimensions.
  • The framework navigates complexity, enhances relational care, and broadens well-being beyond reductionist views.
  • A mental health case study illustrates MH's practical application in complex health scenarios.

Conclusions:

  • The Multiplex Health framework offers a comprehensive alternative to reductionist models in precision health and AI.
  • MH advocates for a "both-and" logic, embracing uncertainty, diversity, and contextual nuance in health management.
  • This approach promotes a more integrated and relational understanding of health and well-being.
