Experiment in the Improvement Tongue diagnosis supporting System

Abstract

The author reported previously that we produced a tongue diagnosis supporting system by applying the syndrome determination process on a discriminating system based on the fuzzy theory. The purpose of this study is to examine the improvement of this diagnostic supporting system. The results of the tongue diagnosis by physician were compared with the diagnosis using this supporting system in the cold-heat syndrome and deficiency-excess syndrome. The diagnosis using the supporting system was consistent with the tongue diagnosis in 75-80%. In conclusion, this result of system is similar to the former system.
