Development of Innovative 3D Spherical Retrieval System and Virtual Reality for Insomnia Prescriptions in Traditional Chinese Medicine

Insomnia is prevalent in modern society, and traditional Chinese medicine is gradually replacing Western medicine in its treatment. This study utilized insomnia symptoms and prescriptions from the “Dictionary of Chinese Medicine Prescriptions” to establish a 3D TCM spherical retrieval system, which intuitively displays the relationship between TCM prescriptions and insomnia symptoms. It enhances public and student interest in learning about TCM. Survey results indicate that the system effectively improves public knowledge of TCM and supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education.
