Study Summary

This project is based on artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to screen the effective methods of traditional Chinese medicine intervention for dry eye and its applicable conditions, and optimize the traditional Chinese medicine intervention plan for dry eye through the evaluation of evidence-based medicine and expert consensus, and construct the Clinical Decision support system of traditional Chinese medicine intervention for dry eye, secondly, a real-world prospective cohort study design is adopted, the CDSS system is used in the ophthalmology clinic, and its practical application effect on patients with dry eye is evaluated.

Study Description

Dry eye is a common disease that affects tears and ocular surface. It can cause ocular surface discomfort, visual impairment and even blindness, affect the quality of life of patients and cause social and psychological harm. Interventions related to traditional Chinese medicine can effectively alleviate the clinical symptoms and signs of patients with dry eye, and are an indispensable part of the treatment of dry eye. However, at present, patients with dry eye are mainly diagnosed at the western medicine ophthalmology clinic. Due to the lack of knowledge of Chinese medicine by western medicine ophthalmologists, they are unable to provide patients with good guidance on Chinese medicine intervention measures, which may cause patients to miss Chinese medicine-related treatments. This project provides doctors of Western medicine with a clinical decision support system (CDSS) of Chinese medicine interventions for dry eye syndrome, so as to improve doctors' guidance and decision-making of Chinese medicine for patients. This project is based on artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to screen the effective methods of traditional Chinese medicine intervention for dry eye and its applicable conditions, and optimize the traditional Chinese medicine intervention plan for dry eye through the evaluation of evidence-based medicine and expert consensus, and construct the Clinical Decision support system of traditional Chinese medicine intervention for dry eye, secondly, a real-world prospective cohort study design is adopted, the CDSS system is used in the ophthalmology clinic, and its practical application effect on patients with dry eye is evaluated.
