Area of Science:

  • Computational biology
  • Bioinformatics
  • Data visualization

Background:

  • Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) relies on complex herbal formulas, whose memorization and analysis are challenging due to the large number of combinations and multidimensional herb properties.
  • Existing text-based methods hinder the joint and interactive analysis of formula composition and herb characteristics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a visualization method for TCM formulas that integrates composition and multidimensional herb properties.
  • To create a web-based tool supporting the comparison of TCM formulas and herbal medicines.

Main Methods:

  • A multi-linked view visualization approach was developed in collaboration with TCM and visualization experts.
  • The tool features a formula view for composition and herb comparison, a shared herb view for overlap analysis, and a dimensionality-reduction plot for herb properties.

Main Results:

  • The method was applied to tonic and heat-clearing formulas, involving numerous herbs with 23-dimensional attributes.
  • A usability study with TCM experts demonstrated that the tool provided quick insights into formulas and herbs, surpassing traditional text-based methods.

Conclusions:

  • The developed web-based tool effectively visualizes and compares complex TCM formulas and multidimensional herb attributes.
  • This visualization method offers a promising approach for TCM education and analysis, enhancing expert understanding.
