Predictive Health Care

Predictive health care is an emergent means of delivering health care in the US which concentrates on predicting health rather than waiting for illness to begin. In general, absence of symptoms is called health and it is commercially relevant. But, physical symptom/s is only the final stage in progression of disease. Thus predictive or preventive health is supposed to identify degradation in the holistic health.

Holistic health includes six interweaving aspects – Physical – Emotional – Mental – Social – Intellectual – Spiritual health. Emotional trauma usually manifests in the form of physical illness and hence, treating physical illness will only give a short-term solution. To avoid physical illness, potential cause has to be identified and lifestyle has to be analyzed. It includes the individual’s intentional choices like nutrition, activities and circumstantial aspects like environmental exposure, beliefs, history, and social integration and so on.

These interweaving issues are not considered in conventional health care as medical science doesn’t extend to the analysis of results nor the analytical methods. In general, medical standard to diagnose disease mainly depends on the sample collection.

Such samples / methods might be utilized in predictive health, but you can’t be certain to get the accurate result about your physical health. Actually, all the six elements have to be healthy to remain physically healthy.
