Abstract

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a medical system that has been historically proven effective in diagnosing and managing various symptoms through the concepts of the Five Element imbalance, Yin-Yang, and acupuncture points. In the era of artificial intelligence, the utilization of Large Language Models (LLMs) specifically designed for the healthcare domain, referred to as Health-LLM Agents (AI-based health agents powered by LLMs), holds great potential in supporting TCM practices with greater efficiency and precision. This study aims to design and evaluate the performance of a Health-LLM Agent in predicting imbalances among the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) based on patient symptoms, while also recommending appropriate acupuncture points for therapy. The methodology involves fine-tuning an LLM model with prompt engineering tailored to TCM terminology and principles, along with integrating symptom data in semi-structured text format. Evaluation is conducted using expert validation and classification metrics such as diagnostic accuracy, relevance of acupuncture point recommendations, and result interpretability. The findings indicate that the Health-LLM Agent achieves an 81% accuracy in predicting Five Element imbalances and receives 92% positive validation from TCM practitioners regarding acupuncture point recommendations. These results demonstrate that the Health-LLM Agent can serve as a promising tool to support the digitalization and personalization of TCM diagnosis through AI-based systems
