Abstract
Based on the author’s previous work, this article proposed a novel
discipline– combinatorial biomedicine. Currently, there are several
classical examples. One is a magic “polypill” covering the “Health
Essential (HE) 5”, that is, “environment-sleep-emotion-exercise-diet”
intervention [E(e)SEEDi] lifestyle; Another is an innovative
“traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Hot Pot”. In addition, the
iRT-ABCDEFG program is indeed suitable for better management of human
diseases. In fact, combinatorial biomedicine is pivotal in the
development of life science, biology and medicine, in particular the
pandemic and post-COVID-19 era, and has obvious advantages in screening,
diagnosis, treatments, prevention and rehabilitation of both major
non-communicable diseases (such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
cancer, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases) and major infectious
diseases (such as AIDS, Helicobacter pylori infection, and COVID-19). As
a novel discipline, combinatorial biomedicine plays a crucial role in
combating human diseases and improving population health. It is about
time to propose and establish this novel discipline.
