A Chinese medicine infrastructure model “Digital Smart Materia Medica” was jointly developed by Tian Shili Pharmaceutical Group and Huawei Cloud.

With 38 billion parameters, the “Digital Smart Materia Medica” has been pre-trained with a huge amount of Chinese medicine text data, combined with a vector database to enhance search, and fine-tuned with multiple scenes of Chinese medicine research and development. Researchers can be supported in uncovering and summarizing the underpinnings of TCM theory. The “Digital Smart Materia Medica” has three application modes, “Smart Q&A,” “Interactive Computing,” and “Report Generation,” and can realize two major goals: “tailoring prescriptions to diseases” and “treating people based on prescriptions.”
As to Mr. Yan Kaijiao, Chairman of Tian Shili Pharmaceutical Group, “emerging technologies continue to emerge and develop rapidly, digital smartness has become the new driving force to promote the development of modern Chinese medicine. By utilizing the tool of the foundation model, we can realize the digital smartization of multiple aspects of TCM, such as the combination and compounding of TCM and the material foundation”.
