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.
