Current Status of Objectification of Four Diagnostic Methods on Constitution Recognition of Chinese Medicine
AbstractChinese medicine (CM) has thousands of years of experience in prevention of diseases. As for CM, people ’s constitution is closely related to their health status, thus recognition of CM constitution is the fundamental and core content of research on constitution types. With development of technologies such as sensors, artificial intelligence and big data, objectification of the four diagnostic metho ds of CM has gradually matured, bringing changes in the mindset and innovations in technical means for recognition of CM constitution. This paper presents a systematic review of the latest research trends in constitut...
