4P medicine means that medical care is predictable, preventive, personalized and participatory.

4P medical model is about to open a new era of medical science. 4P is the abbreviation of four English words beginning with p. The four P's are:

PersonalizedMedicine Personalized medicine: providing the most appropriate and targeted health care services according to the special health needs of different people and individuals.

PredictiveMedicine Predictive medicine: According to the genetic and epigenetic background and lifestyle of different people and individuals, predict their possible health problems, and then put forward corresponding health intervention measures.

Preventive medicine preventive medicine: before serious health problems and diseases occur, put forward relevant strategies and disposal plans to prevent problems before they happen.

ParticipatoryMedicine public participation in medicine: through health education and health management of the public and the community, fully mobilize the public's awareness of independent participation in health promotion, and get the maximum benefit with the least investment.

Development of 4P medicine:

Since the beginning of the new century, the world's material wealth has been increasing, the people's quality of life has been continuously improved, and the average life expectancy has also been significantly improved. However, the problems faced by mankind also follow. Obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and other diseases are constantly entering our field of vision. Once we talked about cancer discoloration, diabetes, a chronic disease, has long been considered as a "rich disease".

The data that the proportion of diabetic patients in China is 13% has been made public, and these traditional concepts have gradually changed. Because no matter rich or poor, these diseases seem to have become an important threat to global public health. However, we have noticed that with the accelerated pace of life and environmental pollution, the incidence of these diseases is increasing rapidly due to bad living habits, unhealthy diet and mental stress.

There is a view that "the disease is cured without treatment." Although this view is somewhat exaggerated and pessimistic, it also reminds us that the focus of the medical model is not only "cure", but more importantly "prevention", because many chronic diseases are related to the usual lifestyle and eating habits. With the continuous development of preventive medicine, the model called "4P" medicine has gradually surfaced and attracted people's attention.
