Empowering the inheritance education of renowned TCM practitioners with AI: Han Xuejie Inheritance Studio and Chuanshen Suwen signed a contract in Beijing.
How to realize the "learnable, transmissible and sustainable" inheritance of the academic thoughts and clinical experience accumulated throughout the lives of renowned veteran TCM physicians with the help of digital intelligence technologies? On August 4, 2026, Transn Suwen (Wuhan) Digital Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Transn Suwen") and Han Xuejie Inheritance Studio held a strategic cooperation signing ceremony in Beijing. Relying on TCM large model and digital twin technology, the two sides will jointly build the "Intelligent Inheritance Model of Nine Methods and Five Paths of TCM" to explore a new paradigm for the digital intelligent inheritance of renowned physicians' academic thoughts. Professor Han Xuejie attended the signing ceremony and witnessed the signing.
This cooperation coincides with the opening year of the national 15th Five-Year Plan. In July 2026, the "15th Five-Year Plan for the Revitalization and Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine" was officially issued, which clearly proposed to promote the inheritance and innovative development of TCM driven by digital intelligent transformation and the coordination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. In this context, this cooperation is a positive response to this strategic deployment.
Renowned Physician Experience Inheritance Calls for AI Digital Intelligence to Solve Difficult Problems
The inheritance of TCM has always relied on the traditional "master-apprentice" mode of oral teaching and personal imparting. Long talent training cycle, limited high-quality inheritance resources, and the difficulty in systematically precipitating the implicit experience of renowned physicians are practical problems that have plagued the industry for a long time. At the same time, artificial intelligence technology is accelerating its implementation in the healthcare field, but there is still a "last mile" gap between technical capabilities and real application scenarios such as course teaching, case study, simulation training and scientific research collation.
How to transform the "only perceptible but not expressible" syndrome differentiation core methods of renowned physicians into digital assets that can be preserved, called and trained, so that grassroots physicians and young TCM practitioners can learn, verify and apply them more efficiently, is the starting point and foothold of this cooperation.
Taking Han Xuejie's Academic System as the Core and Digital Twin Technology as the Carrier
Professor Han Xuejie is the instructor for the 7th batch of national renowned veteran TCM experts' academic experience inheritance work, and the 20th generation inheritor of Shen's Gynecology. She has been engaged in TCM clinical practice and scientific research for nearly 40 years, and has systematically constructed academic achievements such as the clinical practice rule of Nine Methods and Five Paths of TCM, the three-dimensional seven essentials diagnosis rule of TCM, and the three-dimensional inspection method of hand, tongue and face. Among them, the clinical practice rule of Nine Methods and Five Paths of TCM has been verified for its practicability and effectiveness by thousands of grassroots physicians since it was promoted in 2020.
Relying on the full-stack independent "root-original" Rendu large model core technology base of its parent company Transn, Transn Suwen independently develops the "Transn Suwen TCM Large Model", which has passed the credible AI TCM large model assessment of China Academy of Information and Communications Technology and obtained a high 4+ level rating. The company has built a dual-engine technology base of "renowned TCM physician digital twin + TCM large model", which can transform the academic thoughts, clinical experience and diagnosis and treatment thinking of renowned physicians into digital assets that can be preserved, called, inherited and iterated, forming a complete closed loop of "precipitation - learning - training - application - iteration".
This cooperation is based on the advantages of both parties in technological innovation and TCM academic accumulation, and focuses on three strategic paths to carry out in-depth collaboration:
First, jointly build the "Intelligent Inheritance Model of Nine Methods and Five Paths of TCM".The two sides will conduct compliance desensitization, structured processing, expert annotation and model training on Professor Han Xuejie's medical records, manuscripts, monographs, course materials and other contents, to build an interactive, learnable and reviewable digital avatar, serving scenarios such as knowledge Q&A, case deduction, syndrome differentiation training and clinical reference. The model is clearly positioned for academic inheritance, teaching assistance and clinical reference, and will not replace physicians to carry out medical behaviors such as diagnosis, prescription and treatment.
Second, build a digital intelligent inheritance education content system.For TCM enthusiasts, grassroots physicians and young TCM practitioners, explore and develop modules such as course teaching, simulated follow-up consultation, case study and syndrome differentiation training, to build an integrated inheritance education closed loop of "teaching, learning, practice and application". Digital twin does not replace real-person teacher inheritance, but adds repeatable and scalable training scenarios for traditional teaching, helping to solve the contradiction between supply and demand of high-quality inheritance resources.
Third, jointly carry out TCM standardization and clinical scientific research.Promote the digital precipitation of clinical materials and academic experience, and provide a data basis for the transformation of renowned physicians' experience into standardized and promotable clinical plans.
At the signing ceremony, He Enpei, Chairman of Transn Suwen, said: "Our goal is not to copy a simple dialogue tool, but to let AI understand the syndrome differentiation thinking of renowned TCM physicians, precipitate it into digital assets that can be inherited for a long time, and transform it into tools that young doctors and grassroots doctors can learn, train and call." Professor Han Xuejie said: "I hope that through the intelligent inheritance model, more grassroots doctors and trainees can interact with the model and review cases during learning, so as to accelerate their understanding and flexible application of TCM knowledge."
Empower TCM Modernization and Explore a Replicable New Paradigm of Digital Intelligent Inheritance for Renowned Physicians
This cooperation aims to explore the implementation path for TCM AI to move from "having technology" to "having scenarios, applications and values". Industry experts pointed out that this cooperation provides a new solution to the pain points of "difficulty in quantifying experience, replicating thinking and expanding teaching" in the inheritance of renowned physicians. In the future, the two sides will continue to promote model iteration and scenario expansion, explore the formation of a replicable and promotable digital intelligent inheritance mode, help high-quality TCM resources sink to the grassroots level, and contribute digital intelligent strength to the inheritance, innovative development of TCM and the construction of talent teams.
