Artificial Intelligence Helps Traditional Chinese Medicine Open a New Chapter in Modernization Development

2023-04-19

After exploration and sedimentation, traditional Chinese medicine has condensed thousands of years of national wisdom. In recent years, the unique advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in prevention, health care, and rehabilitation have been further demonstrated, and the public's attention to traditional Chinese medicine's "treating diseases before they occur" and "preventing diseases before they occur" has continued to rise. At the same time, the continuous breakthroughs in modern information technology have driven the innovation of traditional Chinese medicine technology and methods. Traditional Chinese medicine is no longer the same as before, and with the addition of new technologies such as "big data" and "artificial intelligence", traditional Chinese medicine is entering a new stage of development. From traditional Chinese medicine to intelligent Chinese medicine, with the concept of health preservation and health care deeply ingrained in people's hearts, the traditional Chinese medicine approach of "preventing diseases before they occur, preventing disease from changing, and preventing recovery after recovery" coincides with the needs of modern people for daily health management. However, based on its attribute characteristics, traditional Chinese medicine will inevitably face significant problems and challenges in order to adapt to the health needs of the new era and revitalize itself. If it still follows the traditional development model, it will inevitably face significant challenges. In the vast number of Chinese medicine books and records, there are no lack of hard to understand works. It is impossible to learn completely and efficiently by manpower alone. In addition, there are certain barriers between different schools, so academic exchanges and collisions are weakened. Many achievements and experiences are difficult to transfer and transform effectively. It is urgent to use a force to integrate the essence and connect the factions. In addition, clinical diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine is based on the systems theory and the holistic view. Through the four diagnostic methods of "looking, smelling, asking, and palpating", the treatment based on syndrome differentiation focuses on the accumulation of doctors' personal knowledge and experience. The diagnosis process is more subjective, the diagnosis results may be limited, and the accuracy may also be lacking to a certain extent. The difficulties in means, systems, talents, resources, and other aspects are all the sticking points that constrain the innovative development of traditional Chinese medicine. As early as the 1970s, experts and scholars made their first attempt to introduce artificial intelligence technology into traditional Chinese medicine, but the results were relatively limited. After layers of iteration, upgrading, and innovation, the capabilities of the new generation of artificial intelligence technology in storage, reasoning, computing, and other aspects are gradually maturing. In July 2017, the State Council issued the "Development Plan for the New Generation Artificial Intelligence Industry", which proposed to accelerate the innovative application of artificial intelligence around healthcare. The use of modern information technologies such as AI to promote the construction of smart traditional Chinese medicine has also been continuously included in national programmatic documents. Ma Jianpeng, Dean of the Multi scale Research Institute of Complex Systems at Fudan University, stated that artificial intelligence has broad application and development prospects in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. With the excellent capabilities of AI in data mining and collection, data processing and analysis, and deep learning, it helps to achieve the structured and scientific expression of massive ancient literature and clinical diagnosis and treatment experience, help establish objective standards and evaluation systems for traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment, make up for the shortage of high-quality talents and uneven resources in traditional Chinese medicine, broaden the application scenarios of traditional Chinese medicine internet, and better inherit and develop traditional Chinese medicine culture. From this, it can be seen that through the deep integration of artificial intelligence and traditional Chinese medicine, "Traditional Chinese Medicine+AI" is undoubtedly the key to improving the public coverage of traditional Chinese medicine and promoting the development of traditional Chinese medicine in the future. AI endows contemporary traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis, treatment, and services with multiple intelligent connotations. The accumulation of medical big data and the development of diversified advanced technologies promote the continuous digitization and informatization of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment methods
