It is urgent to accelerate the widespread application of digital technology in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. To build 'digital intelligent traditional Chinese medicine', we need to strengthen the construction of digital infrastructure in the traditional Chinese medicine industry, establish and improve standards and norms for traditional Chinese medicine data, and strengthen the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine data governance.
