Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

"Precise medicine" is also called "personal medicine". With the development of big data database, genetic testing and artificial intelligence, the concept of precision medicine has been applied to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of different diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has traditionally emphasis on personalized medicine, according to each person's body constitution, through discriminatory treatment and personalized treatment methods. Chinese medicine doctors collect patients' information to distinguish the type of TCM pattern, and then according to the different types of diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine to decide of using herbs, acupuncture, massage and other treatment strategies. However, lacking of objective data of traditional Chinese medicine, the current research on precision medicine in Chinese medicine is still limited. The aim of this study is to establish a big database of traditional Chinese precision medicine, and use the patients with hypertension as the population to conduct research on precision medicine in Chinese medicine.This study will combine the TCM body constitutional questionnaire, tongue diagnosis, pulse diagnosis, Chinese medicine immunoassay and genetic testing. In addition, the information providing by the medical electronic medical record system of China Medical University Hospital will be connected, which include modern medical diagnosis, treatment, blood and biochemical analysis and imaging. We will combine the big data analysis and artificial intelligence interpretation technology to explore the correlation between different TCM syndrome types and gene variations in patients with hypertension and establish a database of TCM precision medicine. We will also conduct the education training and symposium to train TCM precision medical talents and promote public understanding of TCM precision medicine. This project will establish a database of traditional Chinese medicine precision medicine to provide the correlation between different TCM pattern types of patients with hypertension, the reaction to different herbal medicine, and gene mutation, and provide reference for TCM clinicians.
