摘要

The development of an effective classification method for human health conditions is essential for precise diagnosis and delivery of tailored therapy to individuals. Contemporary classification of disease systems has properties that limit its information content and usability. Chinese medicine pattern classification has been incorporated with disease classification

and this integrated classification method became more precise because of the increased understanding of the molecular mechanisms. However

we are still facing the complexity of diseases and patterns in the classification of health conditions. With continuing advances in omics methodologies and instrumentation

we are proposing a new classification approach: molecular module classification

which is applying molecular modules to classifying human health status. The initiative would be precisely defining the health status

providing accurate diagnoses

optimizing the therapeutics and improving new drug discovery strategy. Therefore

there would be no current disease diagnosis

no disease pattern classification

and in the future

a new medicine based on this classification

molecular module medicine

could redefine health statuses and reshape the clinical practice.
