Abstract :
Traditional Chinese medicine physicians experiences the gravity of health condition of a sick person by means of the four diagnosis methods (TCM Sizheng) depending on the doctor\´s body "sensors" such as fingers, eyes, noses, etc. without the absence of objective records. This paper proposes an integrated system to assist the TCM doctors to form an objective recording of Sizheng information and provide a primary aided differentiation of syndromes, which is named as the title: traditional Chinese medicine Sizheng integrated recorder and aided syndrome differentiator (TCM-SIRD). As a side effect, this method can also be viewed as a good solution to the lack in service of TCM experts and be of avail to train TCM students.
