- Abstract: The identification of constitutional types in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)is a crucial component in realizing the concept of"treatment before the onset of disease".In recent years,the"Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire"has been employed as a standardized tool and has achieved notable success in the field of TCM constitution identification.However,there remains scope for further enhancement of its validity and applicability.Techniques for identifying TCM constitutions based on multidimensional phenotypes continue to emerge,yet a universally applicable constitutional determination model has yet to be established.We propose three research and development directions:The self-assessment questionnaires,the non-invasive point-of-care testing models based on TCM constitution phenotype,and the multidimensional phenotype-based constitution identification platforms.By way of an example,we outline specific developmental ideas with a focus on TCM constitution identification technology based on the analysis of exhaled breath.
