Cream Stone HealthCare CIC – We care about your whole wellbeing
The conceptualization of the ‘Six Domains (6D) of Health’ is based on a research article, educational material and personal experience on the status of the Bio-psycho-social Model of Health.
The ‘Biomedical Model of Health’ explains the role of certain biological determinants today, and attributes disease as a condition caused by external pathogens or disorders in the functions of the organs and other body systems. Now that chronic non-infectious diseases prevail, its efficacy has not only become questionable, but also the issue has been raised of its economic justification. The status of the ‘Bio-psycho-social Model’ in health psychology is contested and arguably exists in a stage of infancy. Despite original goals, medical research has developed theoretical and empirical integrations across bio-psycho-social domains only to a limited extent. Overall, a multilevel integrative or “holistic” perspective is advanced to strengthen the Bio-psycho-social Model for use within health psychology and biomedical research. Therefore, the 6D of Health has included not just the physical, social, familial and emotional domains, but also the spiritual and mental domains of health too. This concept provides a more comprehensive approach to the ‘bio-psycho-social model of health’.
Poor health is often associated with chronic diseases, as these conditions can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life. Chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, are a major public health concern. These diseases are characterized by their long duration and slow progression, and a combination of genetic, epigenetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors often cause them.

You do not need to wait until you develop diseases before you gain health literacy that puts you at upper edge. Our services are based on the “Six Domains (6D) of Health” model, which is a more comprehensive approach to the bio-psycho-social model of health, including not just the physical, social, familial, and emotional domains but also the spiritual and mental domains of health.
