The diagnosis results of different doctors may differ, and there is a lack of standardized and standardized diagnosis process, which limits the promotion of hand diagnosis in clinical application. In addition, with the acceleration of modern life rhythm and the increasing demand for health, the efficiency of traditional hand diagnosis cannot meet the demand of large-scale and rapid diagnosis. SUMMARY
[0003] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides an intelligent traditional Chinese medicine hand diagnosis method and a diagnosis system thereof.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present application is realized by the following technical scheme: An intelligent traditional Chinese medicine hand diagnosis method and a diagnosis system thereof, an intelligent traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis system, characterized in that the intelligent traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis system comprises an information acquisition module, a data processing module, an intelligent analysis module and a diagnosis result generation module. The information acquisition module acquires various data related to hand diagnosis, providing a data basis for subsequent analysis and processing of the system, including high-definition camera equipment, pulse sensor, temperature sensor and information input device. The data processing module is used for realizing real-time acquisition, transmission and storage of the data collected by the acquisition equipment of the information acquisition module. The data processing module comprises data feature extraction function and data quantization analysis function.

The intelligent analysis module comprises multi-modal feature fusion function, symptom matching function and pathological symptom inference function. The diagnostic result generation module is used to display analysis results of the system and provide relevant application services.
[0005] Further, the high-definition camera of the information collection module captures images of the palm shape, skin color, palm lines, and finger nail shape of the hand, and converts the visual features into digital images instead of traditional manual observation. The pulse sensor collects the frequency, strength, and rhythm of the pulse of the hand, and converts traditional manual pulse diagnosis into a quantitative pulse electrical signal. The temperature sensor scans the skin temperature of different regions of the hand. The information input device is used to input the patient's age, gender, main symptoms, and medical history, thereby associating with the hand data.
[0006] Further, the data feature extraction module of the data processing module adopts a convolutional neural network to scan images through multiple convolution kernels to extract palm image features. The data image feature extraction formula is:
[0007]
[0008] f is the collected image, g is the convolution kernel, (i,j) is the output feature map coordinate, a and b are the convolution kernel size parameters, the hand background is removed through the convolution kernel, and then the palm area is located through image segmentation. A loss function cross-entropy is used for pixel classification: where N is the total number of pixels, C is the number of categories, y i,c is the true label, is the predicted probability. Further, the data quantization analysis function converts the time-domain pulse signal collected by the pulse sensor into a frequency domain.

[0010] Further, the pathological symptom inference function of the intelligent analysis module combines the fusion mode and the symptom matching result to analyze the abnormal function of the corresponding viscera and bowels of the feature vector, and predict the potential health risks.
[0011] Further, the diagnostic result generation has a visual result generation function to present the diagnostic result in the form of text and images, mark the abnormal areas of the hand image, interpret the pulse waveform graph and parameters, and conclude the syndrome type, and generate personalized rehabilitation suggestions according to the conclusion.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0016] Fig. 1 is a system structure diagram of the intelligent traditional Chinese medicine hand diagnosis system of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] With reference to the accompanying drawings: the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely, obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0018] Embodiment 1: As shown in Figure 1, the embodiment of the present application provides an intelligent traditional Chinese medicine hand diagnosis system, the intelligent traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis system comprising an information acquisition module, a data processing module, an intelligent analysis module and a diagnosis result generation module; The information acquisition module acquires various data related to hand diagnosis, providing a data basis for subsequent analysis and processing of the system, including high-definition camera equipment, pulse sensors, temperature sensors and information input equipment; The data processing module is used to realize real-time acquisition, transmission and storage of the data collected by the acquisition equipment of the information acquisition module, the data processing module comprising data feature extraction function and data quantitative analysis function; The intelligent analysis module analyzes the processed data, identifies different hand diagnosis features, and judges the association with diseases, the intelligent analysis module comprising multi-modal feature fusion function, symptom matching function and pathological symptom inference function; The diagnosis result generation module is used to display the analysis results of the system and provide related application services.
[0019] Embodiment 2: The high-definition camera equipment of the information acquisition module captures images of the palm type, skin color, palm lines and finger nail shape of the hand, converts visual features into digital images instead of traditional manual observation, the pulse sensor collects the frequency, intensity and rhythm of the hand pulse, converts traditional manual pulse diagnosis into quantitative pulse electrical signals, the temperature sensor scans the skin temperature of different areas of the hand, and the information input equipment is used to input the patient's age, gender, chief complaint, medical history, thereby associating with the hand data; When judging respiratory system diseases, the change of the color of the palm is an important observation index, when the color of the palm is reddish or presents purple red, it is often possible that the lung is hot, the number of red blood cells in the blood increases, and the color of the palm is reddish The amount of redness in the palm is relatively increased, which is common in diseases such as wind-heat cold and lung heat cough. When the body is invaded by wind-heat evil, symptoms such as fever, cough, and yellow and thick sputum may occur, and the color of the palm may also be reddish. If the color of the palm is pale, it may indicate lung cold or lung qi deficiency. Lung cold is caused by invasion of cold evil into the lungs, leading to lung qi failing to descend, and blood circulation being sluggish, resulting in the color of the palm turning white. Lung qi deficiency is caused by the weakening of lung function, which cannot fully promote blood circulation, leading to insufficient blood supply to the hands, and the color of the palm turning pale. It is common in diseases such as wind-cold cold and lung qi deficiency cough. The shape of the fingers is also an important basis for the diagnosis of respiratory diseases. Swelling and deformation of the finger joints may indicate chronic respiratory diseases. In the long-term development of chronic respiratory diseases, the body is in a state of chronic hypoxia, which stimulates the proliferation of tissues around the finger joints, leading to swelling and deformation of the finger joints. In patients with COPD, due to long-term airway obstruction and lung function decline, the body is hypoxic, and the distal end of the finger gradually appears swelling and deformation. This sign is called clubbing. Thin fingertips may indicate lung qi deficiency, which can cause blood circulation to be insufficiently nourished, making the fingertips thin, It is common in patients with weak constitution and long-term illness. They often have symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and cough. When the temperature of the palm is too high and the sweating is too much, it may indicate that the stomach fire is too strong. Stomach fire is caused by the excessive heat in the stomach, leading to the excessive function of the stomach, and symptoms such as stomach pain, bad breath, and gum pain. If the palm is too dry, it may indicate that the stomach yin is insufficient. Stomach yin deficiency is caused by the deficiency of yin fluid in the stomach, which cannot nourish the stomach, leading to symptoms such as stomach pain, loss of appetite, dry mouth, and dry throat. Nail indentation and curvature may indicate chronic gastritis. Pale and unattractive nails may indicate anemia or malnutrition. Digestive system diseases often cause poor absorption of nutrients, leading to anemia or malnutrition. If the central part of the palm is indented, it may indicate that the spleen and stomach are weak. The central part of the palm corresponds to the reflex zone of the spleen and stomach. The indentation of this area indicates that the function of the spleen and stomach is relatively weak, and it cannot normally transport water and blood, leading to the loss of filling in the central part of the palm. Judging urinary system diseases from the length and shape of the little finger is an important point in hand diagnosis. Short little finger may reflect the insufficient development or function of the kidney, which in turn affects the normal function of the urinary system. If the little finger is curved and deformed, it may indicate a tendency of gynecological diseases, which is more common in women. The color and shape of the palm can also provide important information for the diagnosis of urinary system diseases. Dark and dull color of the palm may indicate kidney deficiency, which can cause blood circulation to be sluggish and lack of essence, resulting in the loss of luster and becoming dark. If the palm is swollen, it may indicate a tendency of nephritis.
[0020] Working principle: The steps of the hand diagnosis method are as follows: Step 1: Patient information entry. Patients submit basic information through the information input device to provide background reference for diagnosis. Step 2: Hand image acquisition, pulse signal acquisition, and temperature acquisition. High-definition camera equipment is used to take multi-angle pictures of the palm, fingers, and nails to obtain visual characteristics of palm shape, skin color, texture, lines, and nail shape. A pulse sensor is placed against the wrist at the cun, guan, and chi positions to collect pulse frequency, strength, rhythm, and waveform data. An infrared temperature sensor or contact temperature probe is used to measure the temperature distribution in different areas of the hand. Step 3: Data processing. Preprocess the image and segment the image to extract palm image features. Use a convolutional neural network to extract palm print complexity, line direction, and skin pigmentation features. Extract pulse signals through frequency conversion. Step 4: Multimodal and multi-source data fusion. Image features, pulse parameters, temperature data, and patient complaints are integrated into a multidimensional feature vector and set to a unified data format. Then, the feature vector is input into a pre-defined... The trained multimodal fusion model is compared with the feature templates of typical syndromes in the TCM hand diagnosis database to calculate the matching probability of each syndrome. Step 5: Pathological prediction and result generation. This involves combining fused data to infer the functional status of internal organs, predicting potential health problems, converting quantitative characteristics into TCM diagnostic terminology, and generating a visual report with charts and graphs. And personalized treatment suggestions are generated based on the pathology.
