Abstract

Traditional Chinese medicine has a systematized methodology of medical treatment based on subjective information from the five senses. We proposed here, a diagnostic system of tongue inspection using the fuzzy theory and applied this system to healthy volunteers based on traditional Chinese medicine. Our findings suggested that this diagnostic system is useful for tongue inspection of traditional Chinese medicine.
