Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAn AI-Powered Integrated Care Model Combining Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine for Personalized Alzheimer’s Disease ManagementShurong Li, Yiming Chen, Jin Xu et al.Alzheimer's Disease (AD) gradually reduces memory and cognition. While Western medicine focuses on pharmacological treatments, it frequently ignores holistic factors such as mood and digestion. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) addresses these issues through a wellness-oriented approach. However, the combination of both systems in patient care is uncommon. Current Alzheimer's disease treatments are often siloed, relying solely on Western or alternative … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 16 Feb 2026 · 2,069 accessesView PDFCite
