AI used to enhance bespoke TCM treatments

According to Zhang, this digital evolution aligns directly with national policy. During the 2026 National People's Congress, the government's work report explicitly called for "promoting the inheritance and innovation of TCM and facilitating the integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine".
For example, while Western medicine is highly effective in lowering blood sugar for diabetes patients, TCM has greater advantages in preventing complications. After five or six years, diabetes patients often develop microvascular complications. By incorporating TCM herbs, treatment can prevent or delay the onset of these complications while lowering blood sugar, a model that has received positive feedback from many patients, Zhang said.
This clinical efficacy is translating into overseas expansion. Da Ren Tang, which secured a regulatory pathway into international markets via its listing on the Singapore stock exchange back in June 1997, now exports over 140 products to more than 20 countries and regions.
The World Internet Conference (WIC) was established as an international organization on July 12, 2022, headquartered in Beijing, China. It was jointly initiated by Global System for Mobile Communication Association (GSMA), National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team/Coordination Center of China (CNCERT), China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), Alibaba Group, Tencent, and Zhijiang Lab.
