Museum of Eastern Medical Traditions

One hall per medical tradition: its texts, its images, and how it is carried on today. Every object names its source and its licence, and says plainly where the record is unclear.

··Public-benefit aid · built with AI technology

For physical museums of Eastern medical traditions, for universities of these medical traditions, and for institutes that research them, in any country or region, this museum offers public-benefit help: AI technology for digitising collections and classic texts, for multilingual display, and for building a shared online hall.

For human health, and for nothing else.

The help covers digital technology for historical and cultural display only. It does not provide diagnosis or treatment, and it collects no personal health data from visitors.

··Where this stops

This is a cultural and historical exhibition. It gives no medical advice and replaces no doctor. Medical ideas are stated as the tradition itself states them, which says nothing about their modern clinical validity. For a health problem, see a qualified physician.

No medical advice · every image and text names its source and licence
