The essentials of Chinese medicine is promoting health wellness instead of disease management. Modern medicine just realized the limits of its theory. P4 medicine （personalized, predictive, preventive, and participatory/precision） similar to Chinese medicine theory is beginning to representing the pioneer in the Western world. In this review, we summarized different domains of Chinese medicine. Based on the basic of promoting health wellness, we compared the fundamental theory of Chinese medicine to the new merging P4 medicine idea of Western medicine. We also discussed the potential for using modern computational medicine technique to integrate Chinese medicine theory and Western medicine theory.展开更多
