Concept Class

Concept class sorts health concepts by the kind of idea each one is, such as a theory, a mechanism or a diagnostic principle. Wikipedia describes the germ theory of disease as "the currently accepted scientific theory explaining the cause of infectious diseases," a class of idea distinct from a single discovery or a named technique. This dimension lets a visitor compare concepts of the same intellectual shape.
