The Gourdian: Comprehensive Health Robot Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine

With the rapid development of smart wearable devices and digital health monitoring platforms, technology-assisted health management has become vital for young people. However, these devices often present single-dimensional data, limiting system-wide health insights and management. Chinese medicine pulse-taking addresses this gap. This study introduces Gourdian, a character-based home health robot that uses traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) principles, optimizing human-computer interaction through TCM diagnostics. The findings demonstrate a novel application of TCM in home health monitoring and provide a practical approach to improving young people's health awareness and engagement.
