This study introduces comatics, a new field merging coma clinical practice and narrative theory. Comatics aims to improve conditions for comatose individuals to reintegrate into social life through enhanced communication understanding.

Area of Science:

  • Interdisciplinary research combining clinical neurology and narrative theory.

Context:

  • Current approaches to coma care lack a framework for social reintegration.
  • Narrative theory offers insights into meaning-making and communication.

Purpose:

  • To establish a new field of study, comatics.
  • To develop practical applications for aiding comatose individuals' return to social life.

Summary:

  • Comatics applies semiotics (the study of signs and symbols) to the process of awakening from comatose states.
  • It focuses on creating optimal conditions for individuals to grasp meaning, interpret signals, and re-engage in communication circuits.
  • This approach bridges abstract theory with practical clinical needs.

Impact:

  • Establishes a novel framework for understanding and supporting coma recovery.
