We saw a unique opportunity to bridge ancient wisdom with modern technology. TCM offers deep insights into the body’s internal balance, and AI allows us to scale this knowledge globally, especially for people without access to alternative or preventative health diagnostics.

We collaborated with TCM practitioners, sourced medical image datasets, and continuously train the AI using annotated photos aligned with TCM diagnostic principles. Our model evolves through real-world data (anonymized) and expert feedback loops.

Blending ancient diagnostic methods with modern machine learning posed both technical and philosophical challenges. Ensuring cultural sensitivity, scientific validity, and building trust in an AI tool interpreting health based on subtle cues like tongue color or iris texture was a major task.

We work with certified TCM experts and ensure our algorithms reflect authentic diagnostic frameworks. We’re not reinterpreting TCM—we’re translating it into a digital format, respectfully and accurately.

The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Users appreciate the simplicity and insightfulness of the results. Many report that MyZenCheck has encouraged them to explore new wellness routines or consult professionals earlier than they might have otherwise.
