Psycho-Somatic Profile (PSP)

From fragmented healthcare to integrated psycho-somatic medicine.

Project Overview

The Psycho-Somatic Profile (PSP) is an ongoing, interdisciplinary clinical-research framework. Its goal is to bridge the fragmentation between psychological and somatic health information by establishing a structured, integrated, and longitudinal clinical evaluation model.

The project investigates how psychological history, current psychological state, and somatic health status interact and evolve over time within the same individual, in their own real-world social context.

Important Notice: The PSP is currently a research and development framework. It is not yet a validated diagnostic tool, an established predictive algorithm, or a clinically approved artificial intelligence (AI) system. The phrase "psycho-somatic fingerprint" is a conceptual metaphor representing potential future applications, rather than a proven biomarker at this stage.

The Three Dimensions of PSP

Dimension 1 — Psychological history: Remote psychological background, past developmental and emotional experiences, and relevant historical psychological factors.
Dimension 2 — Current psychological state: Present psychological functioning and symptom burden, evaluated using appropriate standardized psychometric instruments.
Dimension 3 — Somatic health: Comprehensive clinical information, medical history, physical examination findings, and relevant somatic (cardiovascular) objective measurements.

Structured Clinical Database

The foundation of the project is a continuously expanding structured clinical infrastructure.
Database Snapshot (August 23, 2026):

9,646 patients
13,790 clinical records
26 clinical sections
428 structured data tags

This dataset is derived from routine clinical documentation with a focus on cardiovascular medicine. It contains no personally identifiable patient information and is not currently open to automated external access.
