Chongqing is pioneering the digital transformation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) by incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into diagnostic practices. The initiative aims to modernize ancient techniques like pulse-taking and tongue analysis, making them more precise and accessible.
According to reports, local hospitals and research institutions are developing AI systems that can analyze pulse patterns and tongue images with high accuracy. These tools are designed to assist TCM practitioners by providing data-driven insights, potentially reducing human error and standardizing diagnoses.
The project is part of a broader national push to integrate technology into healthcare. While specific statistics on adoption rates or accuracy improvements were not available from verified sources, the initiative reflects a growing trend in China to blend traditional medicine with modern technology.
