Design and Implementation of Embedded TCM System Based on Android Platform

TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) prescriptions are too complicated and numerous for most learners to remember, so the dialectic classification and the choice of TCM prescriptions are usually out of joint in clinic and teaching nowadays. The embedded system, described in this paper, is designed as a TCM prescription information system based on Android platform, in which the emphasis is placed on the standardization of TCM information and the promotion of the TCM traditional spreading approach. And it is implemented with the techniques regarding the Android platform and embedded database, to provide functions such as retrieval of recipes, herbs and syndromes, assisted prescribing and TCM information synchronization in Android device. Moreover, the system has established the integrated relationship of TCM entities relying on our TCM research to overcome the above obstacle in TCM development.
