Interpretation of the digital service standards for traditional chinese medicine weight management

As digital technology continues to advance, its application in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) weight management has become increasingly widespread, offering a more convenient and efficient approach to health management. However, there has been a persistent lack of clear guidelines for deploying digital services in this domain. In response to this gap, the Hunan Provincial Association of Chinese Medicine & Integration of Traditional and Western Medicine introduced the Digital Service Standards for Traditional Chinese Medicine Weight Management (T/HAICWM 001—2024) in August 2024. This standard defines the scope, key terminology, service requirements, fundamental processes, and methods for evaluation and improvement concerning digital services in TCM weight management. This paper elucidates the core content and significance of the standard, aiming to assist relevant users in its comprehension and practical application.
