Yunnan has issued its 15th Five-Year Plan for the Revitalization and Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which proposes to strengthen digital and intelligent empowerment of TCM. The plan calls for promoting connectivity between TCM medical institutions at all levels and the provincial residents' health information platform, building high-quality TCM datasets, and advancing the secure and compliant circulation and utilization of data. It also proposes exploring "TCM + artificial intelligence" and promoting technologies such as intelligent TCM-assisted diagnosis and treatment. Other measures include establishing an in-hospital traceability system for TCM decoction pieces and accelerating the construction of smart TCM hospitals and TCM internet hospitals. The plan also aims to advance the primary-level TCM diagnosis and treatment health cloud platform project, support the introduction of digital and intelligent equipment, promote acupuncture and tuina robots and intelligent decoction equipment, and enhance the service experience. At the same time, it calls for strengthening the development of a comprehensive statistics system for traditional Chinese medicine.
