Ayurvedic constitutional typology (Prakriti) as a Bio-Informatic variable in Paediatric Integrative Medicine: toward a PNEI-Molecular framework

OVERVIEW This methodological treatise introduces a pioneering trans-disciplinary framework designed to address the "granularity gap" in contemporary paediatric stratification. By synthesizing the ancient Ayurvedic phenotypic model of Prakriti with modern systems biology, the author proposes the Constitutional Metabolic Score (CMS) as a novel bio-informatic tool for precision medicine. Key Methodological Innovations: Molecular Operationalization of Ojas: the work redefines the traditional concept of Ojas through the lens of mitochondrial bioenergetics, PNEI (Psycho-Neuro-Endocrine-Immunology) coherence, and epigenetic stability. Constitutional Adaptive Trial Design (CATD): a proposed Bayesian research methodology that utilizes constitutional phenotypes to reduce pharmacogenomic "noise" and optimize therapeutic allocation in paediatric clinical trials. Pharmacokinetic Stratification: the framework identifies specific correlations between Prakriti clusters and the metabolic activity of hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP450) isoenzymes, offering a pathway toward phenotype-adjusted dosing. Significance This document serves as a foundational "Unicum" for researchers in integrative medicine, paediatric pharmacology, and systems biology, providing the theoretical and regulatory roadmap required to transition from "one-size-fits-all" paediatrics to a personalized, constitutional-based model of care.
