Many rare diseases are genetic and lack effective cures. Herbal medicine, developed by ancient healers without the benefit of modern cell biology knowledge, focuses on alleviating symptoms associated with uncommon conditions. Herbal Medicine for Rare Diseases: Alleviating Symptoms by GMP Herbal Formulations adopts an herbal medicine approach to addressing signs and symptoms of rare diseases.
Each herb possesses a multitude of compounds that allow it to treat various conditions, while a single condition can often be addressed by several different herbs, illustrating complex relationships that artificial intelligence (AI) excels at deciphering. The herbal prescriptions in this book are generated using AI models, trained on a decade's worth of medical insurance data from Taiwan, featuring the use of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)-certified traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) products. The connection between deep learning and big data ensures that the trained AI model represents the collective wisdom of ~5,000 herbal medical doctors in Taiwan who contributed to the training data.
