本文就推动和发展中医特色的主客观辨识及辅助诊断技术两者合一的数字化、量化、规范化、标准化创新性研究，以及所形成的原创和独立地知识产权进行了概述。同时介绍了现有的单一诊断信息提取识别设备和两种以上多诊合参设备的研制情况，并在此基础上对相关研究成果在临床应用方面提出了一些参考性建议。

This paper aimed to make a comparison between the developments of the four physical diagnostic methods used in modern medicine and the four diagnostic methods used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In this paper, key techniques for the extraction and identification of TCM diagnostic information in regard of a single diagnostic method and multiple methods have been realized step by step. The result is that the original four TCM diagnostic methods used in combination are better in discriminating health and disease. There exists large room in the development of TCM diagnostic techniques and equipment with independent intellectual property rights on the basis of existing modern technological achievements. It is concluded that TCM diagnostic equipment used for auxiliary diagnosis, which resembles multiple TCM diagnostic methods, has made a big leap from the single TCM diagnostic method.
