Abstract:
Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） constitution theory， with its focus on individualized diagnosis and treatment， provides the theoretical foundation and practical pathways for the prevention and control of comorbidities in the elderly， mental health interventions， and rehabilitation for functional impairment， based on the principle of "treating different diseases with the same approach and preventing multiple diseases simultaneously". Addressing the current issues of insufficient accuracy in identifying elderly constitutions and a lack of targeted prevention and treatment strategies， this paper proposes the construction of a precision identification system characterized by data-driven， dynamic tracking， and human-machine collaboration. It also establishes a dynamic regulatory framework based on classification-based foundation， grad-based quantification， and tiered collaboration. These approaches aim to expand the application of TCM constitution theory in promoting elderly health promotion.
