Application and Development of Intelligent Medicine in Traditional Chinese Medicine

Abstract

As modern science and technology constantly progresses, the fields of artificial intelligence, mixed reality technology, remote technology, etc. have rapidly developed. Meanwhile, these technologies have been gradually applied to the medical field, leading to the development of intelligent medicine. What’s more, intelligent medicine has greatly promoted the development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), causing huge changes in the diagnosis of TCM ailments, remote treatment, teaching, etc. Therefore, there are both opportunities and challenges for inheriting and developing TCM. Herein, the related research progress of intelligent medicine in the TCM in China and abroad over the years is analyzed, with the purpose of introducing the present application status of intelligent medicine in TCM and providing reference for the inheritance and development of TCM in a new era.
