3D Sapiotyping: A Three Dimensional Definition

Abstract

Precision medicine and personalized care have been at
centre-stage in diabetology, and rightfully so. Various
means of classification and clustering have been proposed
to help identify clinical features, causative factors and
‘curative’ strategies for people living with diabetes.
Sapiotype describes “the various attitudes that person with
diabetes may have towards their disease, their doctor or
health care providers, a specific diagnostic procedure, drug,
delivery device, and the health care system at large”. The
sapiotypic spectrum is a wide one, which encapsulates
sapiotypic fluidity, or variability in attitudes, as well. In this
communication, we further expand the sapiotypic
spectrum by creating a 3- dimensional model.
