Description

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202410317657.4, filed on March 19, 2024, entitled "A Method, System and Computer Medium for Intelligent Assistance in Prescribing Traditional Chinese Medicines", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This invention relates to the field of intelligent assisted medical care, and in particular to a method and system for intelligent assistance in the prescription of traditional Chinese medicine. Background Technology

[0003] With the continuous development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), more and more doctors and patients are using prepared Chinese medicines (TCM patent medicines) to treat and prevent diseases. TCM patent medicines are made from Chinese medicinal herbs, processed into specific dosage forms according to prescribed formulas and manufacturing processes under the guidance of TCM theory, to meet the needs of disease prevention and treatment. Therefore, the use of TCM patent medicines should be based on TCM theory, especially the methods of TCM syndrome differentiation, selecting medicines suitable for the patient's condition to better exert their efficacy and avoid incorrect medication. However, in actual medical practice, many TCM patent medicine prescriptions are written by Western medicine doctors. Some Western medicine doctors have not fully mastered the professional methods of TCM syndrome differentiation / disease identification and rely primarily on the Western medicine disease names in the TCM patent medicine instructions as the basis for prescriptions. Because traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine have different knowledge systems for defining and understanding diseases, information such as Western medical disease names and symptoms alone cannot be accurately matched with the TCM diagnostic system. Furthermore, the instructions for most Chinese patent medicines are based on TCM theory combined with patient symptoms. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately match the applicable scope of Chinese patent medicines with only Western medical disease names and symptoms. In this case, there is a risk of using the wrong Chinese patent medicine or even using the opposite of the intended effect.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method and system for intelligent prescription assistance of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations. This system can assist Western medicine doctors in conducting further consultations and confirmations based on the patient's disease / patient information, following the TCM diagnostic methods, to initially identify the TCM diagnosis. Then, by combining the patient's disease symptoms with the instructions of the TCM preparations, a comprehensive selection can be made to ensure more accurate prescriptions, thereby preventing incorrect medication and ensuring patient medication safety. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to address the potential risk of incorrect medication use that may arise from some Western medicine doctors' inability to fully grasp the methods of TCM syndrome differentiation / disease identification while still needing to use prepared Chinese medicines. This invention provides a method and system for intelligently assisting in the prescription of prepared Chinese medicines. It helps doctors differentiate the patient's syndrome type according to TCM theory based on disease information, patient information, and the patient's purpose for using prepared Chinese medicines. This allows for the scientific and standardized selection of prepared Chinese medicines, avoiding medication risks and ensuring patient safety.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for intelligent assistance in prescribing traditional Chinese medicine, the method comprising:

[0007] Step 1: Obtain information on the use of traditional Chinese medicine preparations;

[0008] Step 2: Based on the known disease information and / or patient information, determine whether there are any situations in the prescription where the TCM diagnosis needs to be improved;

[0009] Step 3: If the judgment result indicates that the TCM diagnosis needs to be improved, then analyze the medication requirements of the TCM preparation based on the medication information, known disease information, and patient information.

[0010] Step 4: Based on the information on the demand for traditional Chinese medicine, analyze the relevant characteristics of the disease information and / or patient information that need to be obtained to determine the TCM diagnosis corresponding to the demand for the medicine, and derive a list of the disease characteristics and / or patient characteristics that need to be obtained to further clarify the specific TCM diagnosis of the demand for the medicine.

[0011] Step 5: Based on the list of disease characteristics and / or patient characteristics to be confirmed, obtain the disease information and / or patient information that needs to be confirmed;

[0012] Step 6: Analyze and compare the disease information and / or patient information corresponding to the obtained list of disease characteristics and / or patient characteristics with the disease information and / or patient information characteristics corresponding to each TCM diagnosis to obtain the appropriate TCM diagnosis corresponding to the TCM prescription required by the patient, so as to improve the TCM prescription.

[0034] Appendix Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating the analysis of demand information for traditional Chinese medicine preparations in this invention. Detailed Implementation

[0035] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve its intended purpose, the specific implementation methods of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0036] The first embodiment of the present invention is described below. Figure 1 . Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for intelligently assisting in the prescription of traditional Chinese medicine preparations according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, the method for intelligently assisting in the prescription of traditional Chinese medicine preparations according to the present invention includes:

[0037] Step 1: Obtain information on the use of traditional Chinese medicine.

[0038] In actual clinical treatment, many doctors and patients are accustomed to using some traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations. However, the essence of TCM treatment lies in "differentiation of syndromes and treatment based on syndrome differentiation," that is, through TCM diagnosis, the syndrome type of the disease (such as wind-cold, wind-heat, qi deficiency, blood stasis, etc.) can be determined in order to select appropriate TCM preparations. For example, the same cough may be diagnosed as wind-cold attacking the lung syndrome (heavy cough, thin white phlegm), wind-heat attacking the lung syndrome (cough with yellow phlegm, sore throat), or lung yin deficiency syndrome (dry cough with little phlegm, afternoon fever). Different TCM preparations such as Tongxuan Lifei Wan, Jizhi Tangjiang, and Yangyin Qingfei Wan should be selected respectively. If medication is used blindly without syndrome differentiation, it will not only be ineffective in treatment, but may also aggravate the condition. Most Western doctors have not received systematic and standardized TCM education and cannot fully grasp the theories and methods of TCM syndrome differentiation and medication. In diagnosis and treatment, they usually select Chinese patent medicines based on the pathological anatomy and physiological indicators of modern medicine (such as inflammation, infection, abnormal blood sugar, etc.), and easily ignore the syndrome differentiation of TCM (such as cold and heat, deficiency and excess, qi, blood and body fluid imbalance, etc.), thus posing a greater risk of medication use.

[0039] To help doctors prescribe traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) more accurately, it is essential to first obtain information on the use of TCM. This information can be obtained through the following channels: TCM appears in prescriptions / medical orders / medical purchase lists; doctors / patients prepare prescriptions / medical orders / use / purchase TCM; and analysis reveals at least one of the following TCM usage needs. Specifically, analysis reveals that TCM usage needs include: analysis showing that TCM is part of the optimal treatment plan or an integral part of the optimal treatment plan; relevant treatment standards / guidelines requiring the use of TCM; no other treatment options / existing treatment plans being ruled out; and doctors / patients needing to consider using at least one TCM. The demand for TCM usage can be obtained through system data analysis or by users actively triggering relevant needs.

[0040] Step 2: Based on the known disease information and / or patient information, determine whether there are any situations in the prescription where the TCM diagnosis needs to be improved.

[0041] After obtaining information about the use of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations, the prescription needs to be analyzed to determine whether the use of the TCM preparations corresponds to a TCM diagnosis and whether further TCM diagnosis is needed. The rational use of TCM preparations is based on authoritative clinical data such as drug instructions and pharmacopoeias. Most TCM preparations should be used based on correct TCM syndromes. However, some well-established and relatively safe TCM preparations have indications directly corresponding to Western medicine diagnoses or symptoms. For these TCM preparations, a single corresponding Western medicine diagnosis or symptom can also serve as a reasonable basis for prescription. For most TCM preparations that require prescription based on TCM syndrome differentiation, if the prescription does not contain a correct TCM syndrome, the TCM diagnosis of the prescription needs to be improved.

[0042] The situation where the TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) diagnosis in the prescription needs to be improved is defined as follows, provided that the use of the TCM must be based on a corresponding TCM diagnosis, and at least one of the following exists: the prescription lacks a TCM diagnosis; the TCM diagnosis is too general and cannot determine whether the TCM treatment plan is reasonable; the TCM diagnosis corresponding to the TCM conflict with other disease / patient information; the TCM diagnosis of the TCM conflict with other existing treatment plans; the doctor / patient / pharmacist actively requests TCM diagnostic assistance because they need a prescription / to purchase the TCM; analysis shows that the use of TCM needs to be increased; the TCM lacks corresponding TCM diagnostic basis.

[0043] One method to determine if a TCM diagnosis is too general is when the granularity of the TCM diagnosis in the prescription is greater than the granularity of the corresponding usage rules for that TCM preparation in the rule library. This makes it impossible to determine the appropriateness of the TCM preparation selection based on the TCM diagnosis alone. For example, if the TCM diagnosis is kidney deficiency, but a TCM preparation for treating kidney yin deficiency is prescribed, since TCM uses completely different medications for kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency, mismatched medications will not only fail to treat kidney deficiency but may also worsen the patient's condition. Therefore, if the granularity of the TCM diagnosis in the prescription is greater than the granularity of the corresponding usage rules for the TCM preparation, the doctor needs to differentiate the specific disease characteristics required for diagnosis under the same TCM diagnosis category to further confirm the patient's disease information. A more accurate TCM diagnosis can be obtained from the TCM diagnostic prescription database. For example, the main manifestations of kidney yin deficiency are: soreness and burning pain in the lower back and knees, five-center heat (heat in the palms, soles, and chest), night sweats, seminal emission / scanty menstruation, red tongue with little coating, and thready and rapid pulse. The main manifestations of kidney yang deficiency are: cold and heavy pain in the lower back and knees, aversion to cold and cold limbs, impotence / cold uterus, loose stools and frequent urination, pale and swollen tongue with white coating, and deep, slow, and weak pulse. Therefore, when a prescription contains a large-scale condition like "kidney deficiency" and a drug for treating kidney yin deficiency is used, it is impossible to determine whether the drug is appropriate. Further information about the patient's condition is needed for a more accurate diagnosis.

[0044] The method for determining whether a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparation lacks corresponding TCM diagnostic basis is as follows: extract the TCM preparation information from the prescription, search for the corresponding recommended syndrome in the TCM diagnostic prescription database, check whether there is a TCM diagnosis in the prescription that matches the recommended syndrome, and mark it as needing to be improved if not.

[0045] set up:

[0046] M represents the collection of traditional Chinese medicine preparations in the prescription;

[0047] S_{recommend}(m) represents the set of recommended syndromes for traditional Chinese medicine preparation m;

[0048] D_{traditional} represents the set of traditional Chinese medicine diagnoses in the prescription;

[0049] The conditions that need to be perfected for the marker are:

[0050]

[0051] Step 3: If the judgment result indicates that the TCM diagnosis needs to be improved, then analyze the medication requirements of the TCM preparation based on the medication information, known disease information, and patient information.

[0052] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations can be used to treat / prevent diseases, improve symptoms, adjust physiological states, and prevent / control adverse reactions. To improve the TCM diagnosis in a prescription, it is first necessary to determine the purpose of using the TCM preparation, i.e., the TCM medication requirement information. The specific method involves extracting the TCM preparation to be used from the obtained TCM medication information, matching the corresponding TCM syndrome in a TCM diagnostic prescription database, and using natural language processing technology to analyze keywords in the indication text (such as "clearing heat," "resolving phlegm," "regulating qi," etc.) to construct a treatment method word frequency vector. Based on the word frequency vector, the main treatment direction is calculated, and the medication requirement is inferred by combining disease information and / or patient information.

[0053] For example, medication needs can be categorized into four main types.

[0054] Need type = {disease treatment, symptom improvement, physiological regulation, adverse reaction control}

[0055] Treatment: {Clearing heat}, {Detoxifying}, {Promoting blood circulation}, {Regulating qi}, \dots

[0056] Symptom improvement: {Cough relief}, {Pain relief}, {Sedative}, {Antiperspirant}, {dots}

[0057] Physiological regulation: {\{Replenish Qi},\{Nourish Blood},\{Nourish Yin},\{Warm Yang},\dots}

[0058] Adverse reaction control: {{anti-allergy}, {toxicity reduction}, {liver and kidney protection}, \dots}

[0059] Let I(m) be the indication text for traditional Chinese medicine preparation m. Semantic vectors are extracted using a pre-trained Traditional Chinese Medicine Language Model (fLM).

[0060] vI=fLM(I(m))

[0061] Calculate the similarity score with each type of demand.

[0062] Simtype(m, t) = Cosine(vI, vt), t ∈ Demand Type

[0063] Where vt is the standard semantic vector of demand type t.

[0064] If a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has the effect of tonifying kidney yin deficiency, and the patient is diagnosed with lower back pain, then the need for the TCM can be determined by vector similarity. However, since the prescription does not contain clear information about the patient's syndrome differentiation, it is impossible to determine whether the patient has kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to further supplement the disease information to obtain an accurate TCM diagnosis.

[0065] See attached Figure 3 .

[0066] Step 4: Based on the information on the demand for traditional Chinese medicine, analyze the relevant characteristics of the disease information and / or patient information required to determine the TCM diagnosis corresponding to the demand for the medicine, and derive a list of the disease characteristics and / or patient characteristics that need to be confirmed in order to further clarify the specific TCM diagnosis of the demand for the medicine.

[0067] After clarifying the patient's need for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations, the corresponding TCM syndrome range can be obtained from the TCM diagnostic prescription database. Then, based on the range of TCM syndromes, the disease / patient characteristic information needed to confirm the TCM syndrome can be extracted. For example, in the above case, after confirming that the need for TCM preparations is to tonify the kidneys, the TCM diagnostic prescription database shows that TCM preparations for tonifying the kidneys are divided into types such as tonifying kidney yin deficiency, tonifying kidney yang deficiency, and tonifying both yin and yang. These types correspond to different disease manifestations. Kidney yin deficiency: soreness and burning pain in the lower back and knees, five-center heat, tidal fever and night sweats, seminal emission / scanty menstruation, red tongue with little coating, and thready and rapid pulse. Kidney yang deficiency: cold and heavy pain in the lower back and knees, aversion to cold and cold limbs, impotence / cold uterus, loose stools and frequent urination, pale and swollen tongue with white coating, and deep, slow, and weak pulse.

[0068] This analysis identifies the list of disease and patient characteristics needed to further clarify the specific TCM diagnosis within this scope. Based on known disease and patient information in prescriptions and medical orders, a database analysis can determine the possible range of TCM diagnoses for the patient. This range includes different TCM diagnoses, encompassing both situations requiring further refinement within the same TCM diagnostic category and situations involving multiple different TCM diagnostic categories. Specific TCM diagnoses correspond to different disease manifestations; the differences in these manifestations form the basis for different TCM diagnoses, and the disease / patient information items corresponding to these differences constitute the characteristic information.

[0069] After identifying possible TCM diagnoses, based on the characteristics of the disease / patient information corresponding to each TCM diagnosis and the known disease / patient information, a list of disease / patient characteristic information to be obtained for further confirmation of the patient's TCM diagnosis can be generated.

[0070] Step 5: Based on the list of disease characteristics and / or patient characteristics to be confirmed, obtain the disease information and / or patient information that needs to be confirmed;

[0071] Based on the analyzed list of disease and / or patient characteristics requiring confirmation, the doctor / patient further confirms and refines the information to obtain relevant characteristic data. The values ​​for each item in the list of disease / patient characteristics to be confirmed are retrieved, which can be done through system interfaces, system input, or manual entry.

[0072] Step 6: Analyze and compare the disease information and / or patient information corresponding to the obtained list of disease characteristics and / or patient characteristics with the disease information and / or patient information characteristics corresponding to each TCM diagnosis to obtain the appropriate TCM diagnosis corresponding to the TCM prescription required by the patient, so as to improve the TCM prescription.

[0073] The dialectical calculation method of TCM diagnosis can provide

[0074] 1. Rule matching score: Match patient characteristics with the diagnostic criteria of each syndrome in the rule base, assign scores according to the importance of the characteristics, and calculate the rule matching score.

[0075] 2. Machine learning model scoring: Inputting patient characteristics into a pre-trained "symptom-syndrome" system.

[0076] A classification model converts output probabilities into scores.

[0077] 3. Comprehensive score calculation: Based on the set weights, the comprehensive score is obtained by combining the rule matching score and the machine learning model score.

[0078] 4. Diagnosis determination: The syndrome with the highest comprehensive score is selected as the final TCM diagnosis result.

[0079] As in the example above, after receiving relevant information, the doctor conducts further diagnosis and finds that the patient exhibits symptoms such as flushing, sweating, hot flashes, and a red tongue, but lacks symptoms like impotence or loose stools. Therefore, the doctor can conclude that the patient's TCM diagnosis is kidney yin deficiency. Based on this diagnosis, the doctor can effectively avoid medication errors caused by incorrect or unclear diagnosis, preventing further health damage to the patient.

[0080] Taking the common cold (wind-cold attacking the lungs syndrome vs. wind-heat attacking the lungs syndrome) as an example, the implementation process of this invention is explained as follows: 1. Obtain medication information: The doctor plans to prescribe "Tongxuan Lifei Pills", and the system identifies that this traditional Chinese medicine is suitable for "wind-cold common cold".

[0081] 2. Determine the diagnostic needs: The patient is diagnosed with "upper respiratory tract infection" by Western medicine and has symptoms of "cough and thin white sputum", but there is no diagnosis from traditional Chinese medicine, which needs to be improved.

[0082] 3. Analysis of medication needs: Tongxuan Lifei Pills are used to "relieve exterior syndromes and dispel cold, promote lung function and stop coughing", and the medication needs are to treat exterior syndromes caused by wind-cold.

[0083] 4. Determine the characteristics to be confirmed: It is necessary to differentiate between wind-cold and wind-heat syndromes, and supplement the inquiry with "whether there is aversion to cold / ".

[0084] Fever, presence or absence of sweating, tongue coating and pulse.

[0085] 5. Obtain supplementary information: The patient reported "severe chills, no sweating, and a thin white tongue coating," which is consistent with the characteristics of wind-cold.

[0086] 6. Confirm TCM diagnosis: Based on the symptoms and TCM rules, the diagnosis is "wind-cold attacking the lungs syndrome", and Tongxuan Lifei Pills are appropriate.

[0087] 7. Drug Recommendation and Review: The system recommends and matches traditional Chinese medicines, and reviews and confirms that the diagnosis is accurate, the dosage is reasonable, and there are no contraindications.

[0088] The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnostic prescription database is the foundation and key component of this invention. Built upon the theoretical system of TCM and clinical practice experience, it adopts a hierarchical and modular structure, divided into four main modules: a basic rules layer, a syndrome differentiation and reasoning rules layer, a medication association rules layer, and a safety warning rules layer. Each module is both independent and collaborative, ensuring the accuracy and safety of syndrome differentiation and medication use. TCM Diagnostic Prescription Database Architecture:

[0089] Basic rules layer:

[0090] Standard Rules for Traditional Chinese Medicine Terminology

[0091] Syndrome Classification Definition Rules

[0092] Rules governing the properties, flavors, and meridian tropism of Chinese medicinal herbs.

[0093] The rule layer of dialectical reasoning:

[0094] Symptom-syndrome association rules

[0095] Disease syndrome mapping rules

[0096] Tongue and pulse characteristics and diagnostic rules.

[0097] Medication Association Rule Layer

[0098] Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Matching Rules

[0099] Traditional Chinese Medicine Ingredient Efficacy Correspondence Rules

[0100] Dosage and treatment course adjustment rules.

[0101] Safety warning rule layer

[0102] Drug compatibility rules

[0103] Rules of contraindications for medication use in special populations

[0104] Rules governing conflicts between syndrome differentiation and medication use.

[0105] The TCM terminology standard rules strictly adhere to national standards such as the *National Standard for Clinical Terminology of Traditional Chinese Medicine* and *Terminology of Traditional Chinese Medicine*, standardizing the definitions of all TCM terms involved in the system. For example, it clarifies that "common cold" within the TCM framework includes sub-concepts such as "wind-cold cold," "wind-heat cold," and "summer-dampness cold"; it defines "diarrhea" in TCM as "increased frequency of bowel movements, loose stools, or even watery stools," distinguishing it from the Western medical concept of "diarrhea." Ontology modeling technology is employed, using the OWL language to construct a terminology knowledge graph, establishing semantic relationships such as hierarchical relationships, synonymous relationships, and antonymous relationships between terms. For instance, "ephedra" and "exterior-releasing drugs" have a "belonging" relationship, and "ephedra" and "cinnamon twig" have a "synergistic effect" relationship, facilitating semantic retrieval and reasoning within the system.

[0106] Syndrome Classification and Definition Rules: Based on classical TCM theories, common syndromes are systematically classified and defined. The "Eight Principles of Differentiation" serve as the basic framework, further subdividing syndrome types such as exterior / interior, cold / heat, deficiency / excess, and yin / yang. For example, "Exterior Cold Syndrome" is defined as "severe aversion to cold, mild fever, no sweating, headache and body aches, thin white tongue coating, and floating and tight pulse"; "Interior Heat Syndrome" is defined as "high fever, thirst, flushed face and red eyes, irritability, constipation, yellow urine, red tongue with yellow coating, and rapid pulse." A tree-like structure for syndrome classification is established, with each syndrome node containing attribute information such as definition description, typical symptom set, tongue and pulse feature set, and common etiologies. A database table structure is used for storage, with fields including syndrome ID, syndrome name, classification level, definition description, symptom list field (related to the symptom table), and tongue and pulse feature field (related to the tongue and pulse table).

[0107] Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Properties and Channel Tropism Rules: Records the properties (cold, hot, warm, cool, neutral), channels (e.g., lung, liver, spleen), and indications of each herb. For example, "Coptis chinensis" is bitter and cold in nature, and enters the heart, spleen, stomach, liver, gallbladder, and large intestine channels, with the effects of clearing heat and drying dampness, purging fire and detoxifying; "Astragalus membranaceus" is sweet and warm in nature, and enters the lung and spleen channels, with the effects of tonifying qi and raising yang, consolidating the exterior and stopping sweating. This is used to assist in the analysis of the properties of prepared Chinese medicines and the possible corresponding syndromes. A TCM attribute database table is constructed, with fields including herb ID, herb name, properties, channels, efficacy description, and contraindications. Through association relationships, dynamic access to herb attributes and syndrome differentiation and medication rules is achieved.

[0108] Symptom-Syndrome Correlation Rules: Based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnostics, this system establishes a correspondence between symptoms and syndromes. It employs a "primary symptom + secondary symptom" combination model to clarify the diagnostic criteria for different syndromes. For example, the diagnostic rule for "Wind-Heat Invading the Lungs Syndrome" is: Primary symptoms (cough, yellow phlegm, fever), secondary symptoms (sore throat, thirst, red tongue with thin yellow coating, floating and rapid pulse). When two or more primary symptoms and two or more secondary symptoms are met, a preliminary diagnosis of "Wind-Heat Invading the Lungs Syndrome" can be made. This rule can be stored in the form of IF THEN, such as "IF (symptoms include 'cough' and symptoms include 'yellow phlegm' and symptoms include 'fever' and (symptoms include 'sore throat' or symptoms include 'thirst' or tongue appearance is 'red tongue with thin yellow coating' or pulse appearance is 'floating and rapid') two or more of these appear) THEN syndrome is 'Wind-Heat Invading the Lungs Syndrome'." Create a rule table in the database, with fields including rule ID, syndrome ID, primary symptom condition field (stores the primary symptom logical expression), secondary symptom condition field (stores the secondary symptom logical expression), and weight coefficient (used for comprehensive scoring).

[0109] Disease-Syndrome Mapping Rules: This establishes a mapping relationship between Western medicine diseases and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes, considering factors such as different disease stages, individual differences, and complications. For example, "diabetes" in TCM corresponds to "Xiao Ke" (wasting and thirsting disease), which in its early stages is often characterized by "Yin deficiency and dryness-heat syndrome," in the middle stages it may present as "Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome," and in the late stages it is often accompanied by "Yin and Yang deficiency syndrome." "Coronary heart disease" corresponds to "Chest Bi" (chest pain) in TCM, which can be divided into "Heart Blood Stasis Syndrome," "Phlegm-Dampness Obstruction Syndrome," and "Heart and Kidney Yang Deficiency Syndrome," etc. Specifically, this involves constructing a disease-syndrome mapping table with fields including Western medicine disease ID, Western medicine disease name, TCM syndrome ID, applicable stage (e.g., early, middle, late), and syndrome adjustment rules corresponding to common complications. Data mining algorithms are used to analyze the clinical case database and dynamically optimize the mapping relationship.

[0110] Tongue and pulse characteristic differentiation rules: Summarize the intrinsic relationship between tongue appearance (tongue body, tongue coating) and pulse characteristics and syndromes. For example, a red tongue body with little or no coating often indicates Yin deficiency syndrome; a deep and thready pulse is often associated with Yang deficiency, Qi and blood deficiency, etc. A specific rule is "IF (tongue appearance is 'red tongue body, little coating' and pulse is 'thready and rapid') THEN syndrome is 'Yin deficiency with internal heat'". The implementation involves establishing a tongue and pulse characteristic database, storing common tongue and pulse images and characteristic descriptions, and associating them with syndrome rules. Image recognition technology is used to assist in the extraction of tongue and pulse characteristics, combined with the rule base for diagnostic reasoning.

[0111] Traditional Chinese Patent Medicines - Syndrome Matching Rules: Based on authoritative materials such as drug instructions, the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, and Clinical Medication Guides, determine the applicable traditional Chinese medicine syndromes according to the functions, indications, and ingredient compositions of traditional Chinese patent medicines. For example, the function and indication of "Yinqiao Jiedu Tablets" is "relieving exterior syndrome with drugs pungent in flavor and cool in nature, clearing heat and detoxifying", and it is applicable to "wind-heat cold" (corresponding to "syndrome of wind-heat invading the lung"); "Fuzi Lizhong Pills" has the efficacy of "warming the middle-jiao and strengthening the spleen" and is applicable to "syndrome of deficiency-cold of the spleen and stomach". Add a field of "Applicable Syndrome ID" to the traditional Chinese patent medicine database table and associate it with the syndrome classification table. Establish a matching degree evaluation model, calculate the matching score according to the compatibility between the ingredients of traditional Chinese patent medicines and the treatment methods of syndromes, and provide a quantitative basis for medication recommendations.

[0112] Traditional Chinese Medicine Ingredients - Efficacy Corresponding Rules: Sort out the corresponding relationships between traditional Chinese medicine ingredients and their efficacies, and clarify the synergistic effects of different ingredient combinations in traditional Chinese patent medicines. For example, the combination of "Ephedra" and "Ramulus Cinnamomi" enhances the efficacy of relieving exterior syndrome and dispelling cold; the combination of "Coptis Chinensis" and "Costus Root" has the effects of clearing heat and drying dampness, promoting qi circulation and relieving pain. Construct a table of the relationships between traditional Chinese medicine ingredients and their efficacies, with fields including ingredient ID, ingredient name, efficacy ID, and synergistic ingredient ID (recording the ingredients that have synergistic effects with it). Through knowledge graph technology, visually display the mutual relationships between ingredients.

[0113] Dosage and Treatment Course Adjustment Rules: Based on authoritative materials, formulate rules for adjusting the dosage and treatment course of traditional Chinese patent medicines according to factors such as the patient's age, weight, severity of the disease, and constitution. For example, when children use traditional Chinese patent medicines, the dosage is generally calculated according to age or weight. The dosage for children aged 3 - 6 is 1 / 4 - 1 / 3 of that for adults; for patients with chronic diseases taking traditional Chinese patent medicines, the treatment course can be appropriately extended, but the efficacy and safety need to be regularly evaluated. Establish a table of dosage and treatment course rules, with fields including applicable population (such as children, adults, the elderly), disease severity (mild, moderate, severe), dosage adjustment coefficient, treatment course suggestions, etc. Use decision tree algorithms to quickly match adjustment rules according to patient information.

[0114] Drug Compatibility Taboo Rules: Follow the traditional Chinese medicine compatibility taboo principles such as "the eighteen incompatible medicinals" and "the nineteen medicinals with which certain other medicinals are incompatible", as well as the research results of modern drug interactions, and formulate the compatibility taboo rules between traditional Chinese patent medicines and traditional Chinese patent medicines, and between traditional Chinese patent medicines and western medicines. For example, "traditional Chinese patent medicines containing licorice (such as Compound Liquorice Tablets) should not be compatible with Sargassum, Knoxia Root, Kansui Root, and Genkwa Flos"; "traditional Chinese patent medicines containing ephedra (such as Mahuang Zhike Pills) should not be used in combination with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (such as phenelzine) to avoid causing elevated blood pressure". Construct a compatibility taboo database, store the taboo relationships between drugs in matrix form, with fields including drug 1 ID, drug 2 ID, taboo type (such as "the eighteen incompatible medicinals", "drug interaction"), and description of the cause of the taboo. During prescription review, through database query and logical judgment, prompt compatibility taboo information in real time.

[0115] Special Population Medication Contraindications Rules: For special populations such as pregnant women, breastfeeding women, children, the elderly, and patients with hepatic or renal insufficiency, medication contraindications and precautions are established. For example, pregnant women should not use traditional Chinese medicine preparations containing toxic herbs (such as aconite and cinnabar); children should use medications containing strong purgatives, diuretics, or blood-activating and stasis-removing ingredients with caution. A special population medication rule table is established, with fields including population type, a list of prohibited drug IDs, a list of drugs to be used with caution, and a description of precautions. After obtaining patient information, the system automatically matches the rules and issues medication safety warnings.

[0116] Syndrome and Medication Conflict Rules: Clearly define the conflicting relationships between different syndromes and medications to avoid exacerbating the condition due to inappropriate medication. For example, patients with "deficiency-cold syndrome" should not use heat-clearing and fire-purging Chinese patent medicines; patients with "yin deficiency and fire excess syndrome" should use warming and tonifying medications with caution. Conflict marker fields are added to the syndrome and medication databases to establish a syndrome-drug conflict relationship table. Through a rule engine, conflict information is detected and alerted in real time during syndrome differentiation and medication recommendation.

[0117] In terms of updates, the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnostic prescription database regularly collects the latest TCM clinical research findings, pharmacopoeia revisions, and adverse drug reaction information. A review team composed of professional TCM experts and algorithm engineers revises and supplements the rules. Version control technology is used to record the rule modification history, ensuring traceability.

[0118] In terms of quality control, the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnostic prescription database establishes a rule validation testing platform. This platform comprehensively tests new or modified rules using simulated clinical case data and actual prescription data. Indicators such as confusion matrix, precision, and recall are used to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the rules.

[0119] The TCM diagnostic prescription database also possesses a self-learning function. Utilizing reinforcement learning algorithms from machine learning, it automatically adjusts the weight coefficients and logical conditions of rules based on feedback from actual clinical applications. For example, by analyzing a large amount of prescription data, it optimizes the judgment thresholds of symptom-syndrome association rules, thereby improving the accuracy of syndrome differentiation.

[0120] The present invention discloses a method for intelligent assistance in the prescription of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations. The method further includes: analyzing selectable TCM preparations based on known disease information / patient information, using the range of TCM diagnoses corresponding to the efficacy of selectable TCM preparations as the possible range of TCM diagnoses, and using the corresponding TCM diagnostic dictionary as the TCM diagnostic dictionary corresponding to the efficacy of selectable TCM preparations derived from the analysis of known disease information / patient information.

[0121] The treatment principle of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is individualized medication based on syndrome differentiation. The more accurate the diagnosis, the more suitable the selected medication will be for the patient's condition. However, TCM diagnosis differs fundamentally from Western medicine diagnosis, and Western doctors often struggle to fully grasp both. Therefore, the narrower the range of TCM terminology used in assisting doctors with syndrome differentiation and medication selection, the less workload and difficulty the doctor faces in confirming the diagnosis. Using the range of TCM diagnostic possibilities corresponding to the efficacy of selectable proprietary Chinese medicines as a basis for determining the possible TCM diagnostic range can help doctors confirm the TCM diagnosis more efficiently and accurately.

[0122] In this invention, the list of disease characteristic information and / or patient characteristic information to be confirmed can be dynamically adjusted according to changes in the acquired disease information and / or patient information. Since traditional Chinese medicine treatment starts from the patient's overall health and then proceeds to the specific disease, new disease information / patient information may affect the overall diagnosis. Therefore, it is necessary to dynamically adjust the list of disease characteristic information and / or patient characteristic information that needs further confirmation during the diagnostic process based on changes in disease information and / or patient information, making the list a necessary minimum set, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the doctor's diagnosis.

[0123] This invention discloses a method for intelligent assistance in prescribing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations. The method further includes: aggregating the disease / patient characteristic information to be confirmed based on different disease / patient information and corresponding possible TCM diagnostic ranges; aggregating the disease / patient characteristic information and corresponding values ​​corresponding to different TCM diagnoses into a set of options, so that each set of options corresponds to a different TCM diagnosis, facilitating quick selection by the user. If, under the given business conditions, there is a fixed correspondence between the items and values ​​within each set of options, items and values ​​with fixed relationships can be omitted without affecting the differences / distinction between sets, provided that they do not affect TCM disease identification / differentiation / diagnosis / syndrome differentiation. The differences in disease manifestations between different TCM diagnoses are obtained through different diagnostic methods, yielding different indicators / symptoms / feelings / needs. These differences in diagnostic items and their values ​​are unidirectional. Differences between different TCM diagnoses may be unidirectional or require comparison of multiple items to distinguish. Therefore, combining these multiple differences into a set of features allows for rapid location of the corresponding TCM diagnosis without requiring item-by-item operation, improving efficiency.

[0124] This invention discloses a method for intelligent assistance in prescribing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations. The method further includes: recommending TCM diagnoses based on one or more treatment objectives. This can be based on analyzing the disease requiring / suitable for the use of TCM preparations as the treatment objective, or it can be based on the intended TCM preparation as the primary purpose of using the TCM preparation. (When doctors / patients consider using TCM preparations, it may be based on a single treatment objective, or it may be a combination of two or more treatment objectives. The treatment objective can be a Western medicine / TCM narrative.) Once the primary treatment objective for using the TCM preparation is confirmed, when conducting TCM syndrome differentiation / disease identification and selecting TCM preparations, this treatment objective can be used as the primary disease object for TCM syndrome differentiation / disease identification, while other disease / patient information is considered as supplementary information.

[0125] This invention discloses a method for intelligently assisting in the prescription of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations. The method further includes recommending suitable TCM preparations based on the patient's disease information and the analyzed TCM diagnosis. When recommending TCM preparations, the primary consideration is the correspondence between TCM syndrome differentiation / disease differentiation and the efficacy of the drug. Simultaneously, factors such as safety, cost-effectiveness, and suitability are also considered, including the risks and overall efficacy related to the patient, the disease, and other drugs / treatment methods.

[0126] The intelligent auxiliary method for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescriptions disclosed in this invention also includes a drug review algorithm. Based on the TCM prescription demand information and the corresponding TCM diagnosis, and using a TCM diagnosis and prescription database as the rule foundation, the algorithm reviews the rationality and / or standardization of TCM prescription use. The algorithm establishes a drug review system that quantifies and scores prescriptions from dimensions such as syndrome differentiation-drug matching degree, dosage and treatment course rationality, safety for special populations, and drug economy to determine the rationality of TCM prescription use and output review results and suggestions.

[0127] The intelligent auxiliary method for traditional Chinese medicine prescription disclosed in this invention also includes a drug recommendation algorithm, which recommends suitable traditional Chinese medicines based on the drug demand information of traditional Chinese medicines and the corresponding TCM diagnosis, using a TCM diagnosis and prescription database as the rule basis.

[0128] In this invention, the TCM diagnostic prescription database not only includes historically valid TCM prescriptions, but also records in detail the TCM diagnosis, medication needs (such as disease treatment, symptom improvement, etc.), and medication effect feedback (such as the degree of symptom relief and adverse reactions) corresponding to each prescription. Simultaneously, it establishes a correlation between prescriptions and patient information (age, gender, constitution, etc.), forming a multi-dimensional prescription data network, providing rich training and reference data for recommendation algorithms. Furthermore, the database constructs a cross-index table of TCM prescriptions, TCM diagnoses, and medication needs. For example, the index table records that "Liuwei Dihuang Wan" corresponds to the diagnosis of "Kidney Yin Deficiency Syndrome," suitable for the medication need of "Nourishing Yin and Tonifying the Kidney"; "Jinkui Shenqi Wan" corresponds to "Kidney Yang Deficiency Syndrome," used for the need of "Warming and Tonifying Kidney Yang, Promoting Qi and Water Circulation," etc. Through this index table, it is possible to quickly retrieve a set of TCM prescriptions that meet specific diagnoses and needs.

[0129] Based on the demand information for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations and the corresponding TCM diagnoses, key features (such as syndrome keywords in the diagnosis and efficacy keywords in the demand for medication) are extracted. In the TCM diagnosis prescription database, historical prescriptions containing the same or similar key features are searched to calculate the similarity between the proposed recommendations and historical prescriptions. Prescriptions with high similarity are selected, and the TCM preparations used in them are extracted as candidate recommended drugs.

[0130] The drug recommendation process of this invention is as follows: 1. Demand and diagnosis analysis: Determine the demand information for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations and the corresponding TCM diagnosis using existing methods; 2. Candidate drug screening: Screen a set of candidate TCM preparations for recommendation in the TCM diagnosis and prescription database using a similarity matching algorithm; 3. Priority ranking and recommendation: Process the candidate set using a rule-based priority ranking algorithm, output the final list of recommended TCM preparations, and attach the reasons for recommendation (such as the degree of matching with diagnosis and demand, historical efficacy, etc.) to assist doctors in completing prescriptions.
