description | BACKGROUND: With the development of technology and the renewal of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnostic equipment, artificial intelligence (AI) has been widely applied in TCM. Numerous articles employing this technology have been published. This study aimed to outline the knowledge and themes trends of the four TCM diagnostic methods to help researchers quickly master the hotspots and trends in this field. Four TCM diagnostic methods is a TCM diagnostic method through inspection, listening, smelling, inquiring and palpation, the purpose of which is to collect the patient’s medical history, symptoms and signs. Then, it provides an analytical basis for later disease diagnosis and treatment plans. METHODS: Publications related to AI-based research on the four TCM diagnostic methods were selected from the Web of Science Core Collection, without any restriction on the year of publication. VOSviewer and Citespace were primarily used to create graphical bibliometric maps in this field. RESULTS: China was the most productive country in this field, and Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine published the largest number of related papers, and the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the dominant research organization. The Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine had the highest average number of citations. Jinhong Guo was the most influential author and Artificial Intelligence in Medicine was the most authoritative journal. Six clusters separated by keywords association showed the range of AI-based research on the four TCM diagnostic methods. The hotspots of AI-based research on the four TCM diagnostic methods included the classification and diagnosis of tongue images in patients with diabetes and machine learning for TCM symptom differentiation. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that AI-based research on the four TCM diagnostic methods is currently in the initial stage of rapid development and has bright prospects. Cross-country and regional cooperation should be strengthened in the future. It is foreseeable that more related research outputs will rely on the interdisciplinarity of TCM and the development of neural networks models. |
