Title: A series of studies on in-body and ex-body intelligent auxiliary diagnosis of dementia Abstract: In recent years, through the research on key technologies for disease-assisted diagnosis, objective and quantitative beneficial supplements have been provided for the existing diagnosis methods based on clinical experience and subjective judgment. However, most medical imaging databases currently have a capacity that is less than that of general image databases, and the acquisition of medical images and the establishment of medical imaging databases differ from those of general images. There are problems such as high acquisition difficulty, high equipment requirements, high time costs, and a stronger economic demand. To achieve outstanding generalization performance of large-capacity deep learning models, the speaker focused on in-depth discussions on the key technologies for diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases in both in vivo and in vitro settings, including the generation of medical image data, based on the ideas of deep discriminative learning and generative adversarial learning. |

To this end, we have investigated multimodal information acquisition and intelligent processing technologies. This research expands the scope of "generalized visual inspection" to encompass diverse modalities, including tongue, facial, ocular, manual, bodily, and olfactory biomedical information, thereby enabling objective, comprehensive, and quantitative data collection. Concurrently, we have developed intelligent processing algorithms for feature extraction, pattern recognition, and correlation analysis, aiming to uncover profound patterns linking diagnostic observation data with disease states. Building upon this foundation, we have created a suite of equipment and a decision-support platform designed to serve primary healthcare for major chronic diseases and health monitoring. This initiative aims to propel TCM diagnosis and treatment towards modernization and intelligence. |
