Research progress on knowledge discovery in traditional Chinese medicine medical records based on artificial intelligence

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) medical records represent the clinical practice records of physicians, encapsulating a wealth of TCM clinical diagnosis and treatment experiences as well as academic thoughts of numerous TCM practitioners. Such various information provides certain basic conditions for the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technology with TCM. Through analyzing successful clinical records, AI technology can extract practical and understandable knowledge. Therefore, this paper summarizes and analyzes the application of information technology in the field of knowledge discovery research from Chinese medical records. It focuses on 3 key aspects: the resources of TCM Medical Records, the objects of TCM records mining, and the application of AI technology. The aim is to provide beneficial references for maximizing the value of TCM medical records.
