Faced with the growing assessment of traditional Chinese medicine abroad, more and more players in the sector are trying to facilitate the export of this Chinese treasure thanks to digital and intelligent technologies.
Among them, Tasly Pharma has created a large model called “Bencao Intelligent”, based on Huawei cloud computers.
Yan Kaijing, CEO of the company, explains that by using cloud computing and the big model, they are able to overall analyze the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, which is based on disease, symptoms, order and medicine, as well as modern research, in order to accelerate R&D in terms of innovative remedies.
Like Tasly Pharma, many traditional Chinese medicine companies are trying to “change their language” by using modern technologies to carry out a digital, massive, standardized and intensive production, as well as to establish a quality standards system.
In Tasly Pharma, production lines with high frequency vibration technology can produce 70,000 identical size and weight pills in one minute. 2,100 sensors collect data during the production process, in order to guarantee the homogeneous high quality of each pill.
Traditional Chinese medicine has a terminology that is sometimes difficult to understand. Gao Wenyuan, leader of the traditional Chinese pharmacopoeia of the University of Tianjin, believes that the megadonts and AI make it possible to elucidate the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine to explain it to the patients.
Some companies have decided to set up digital management systems covering all links in traditional Chinese medicine, ranging from the traceability of ingredients to smart tests, including after-sales services.
Thus, a QR code appears on the packaging of the fast -action jiuxin pill produced by Tianjin Pharmaceutical Da Ren Tang Group Corp., Ltd., and it is enough to scan the code with a mobile phone to obtain information such as the origin of the ingredients, the production process, transport and quality control.
Thanks to the efforts made, Da Ren Tang managed to record around 120 types of medicines in more than 20 countries under the “Grande Wall” label. The soothing balm for the burns of Ching Wan Hung is exported to countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and the United States. Tasly Pharma has obtained eight approvals for the international registration of her drugs.
According to experts, using digital technology, it is possible to promote theoretical breakthroughs and the technological improvement of Chinese medicine, to reproduce the thoughts and clinical experiences of ancient Chinese doctors, to clarify the mechanism and the efficiency of Chinese medicine and to promote its transmission.
