Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)plays a unique role in preventive treatment of disease,treatment of chronic disease and recovery.Integrating modern science and technology and methods to carry out integrated and innovative research will help to bring the value of traditional Chinese medicine into full play.In recent years,with the rapid development of digital therapeutics such as artificial intelligence and wearable devices,digital therapeutics have emerged.Under the guidance of TCM theory,TCM integrates digital therapeutics technology methods,personalized treatment of patients through advanced program-driven software or combined with hardware devices,and improves patient compliance,gives full play to the advantages of TCM.This paper uses CiteSpace to visualize the research hotspots of digital therapeutics,combined with the literature and the website data of the Food and Drug Administration and the National Medical Products Administration,to sort out the application of digital therapeutics in the prevention,treatment and recovery of diseases,analyze the key technologies and core theories in the current application of digital therapeutics.And taking TCM pentatotherapy,kinesiatrics and aromatherapy as examples,this paper discusses the application forms of digital therapeutics under the guidance of TCM theory,and provides a preliminary paradigm for TCM digital therapeutics.
