Systems medicine disease : disease classification and scalability beyond networks and boundary conditions

In order to accommodate the forthcoming wealth of health and disease related information, from genome to body sensors to population and the environment, the approach to disease description and definition demands re-examination. Traditional classification methods remain trapped by history; to provide...
