Evaluation of Coldness-Heat in Tongue Diagnosis Using Fuzzy System

Abstract

We produced a tongue diagnosis supporting system by applying the syndrome determination process on a discriminating system based on the fuzzy theory. In this study, the results of the tongue diagnosis of coldness-heat were compared with those of the diagnosis using this supporting system. To evaluate the diagnostic ability of our tongue diagnosis supporting system, the results of tongue diagnosis was compared with those of the diagnosis using this system. The diagnosis using the supporting system was consistent with the tongue diagnosis in 70%, showing results close to clinical diagnosis.
