Clinical records are the firsthand and vital evidences for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) research. With deep Chinese culture background and years of clinical experience, a TCM clinical expert usually has his or her unique diagnostic methods. Preserving clinical cases of highexperienced TCM practitioners in their original tastes and exploring the in-depth knowledge is thus an important but arduous task. A novel system ISMAC (Intelligent System for Management and Analysis of Clinical cases in TCM) is introduced for customized management and intelligent analysis of TCM clinical data in this paper.

Clinical records of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners, especially those of masters or veteran practitioners, are precious materials for the TCM researchers and juniors. A novel TCM Platform for Maters' Experience Sharing (named TCM-PMES), which preserves the clinical processes of masters is provided. Unfiltered experience of TCM masters is maintained ascomplete as possible. Functional diagram and system architecture are carefully illustrated. The Interface of inputting clinical records in TCM-PMES is demonstrated as an intuitive example. The novel platform provides a new way for keeping and researching into the clinical records in the diagnostic process of TCM masters.

Clinical cases are primary and vital evidence for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) clinical research. A great deal of medical knowledge is hidden in the clinical cases of the highly experienced TCM practitioner. With a deep Chinese culture background and years of clinical experience, an experienced TCM specialist usually has his or her unique clinical pattern and diagnosis idea. Preserving huge clinical cases of experienced TCM practitioners as well as exploring the inherent knowledge is then an important but arduous task. The novel system ISMAC (Intelligent System for Management and Analysis of Clinical Cases in TCM) is designed and implemented for customized management and intelligent analysis of TCM clinical data. Customized templates with standard and expert-standard symptoms, diseases, syndromes, and Chinese Medince Formula (CMF) are constructed in ISMAC, according to the clinical diagnosis and treatment characteristic of each TCM specialist. With these templates, clinical cases are archived in order to maintain their original characteristics. Varying data analysis and mining methods, grouped as Basic Analysis, Association Rule, Feature Reduction, Cluster, Pattern Classification, and Pattern Prediction, are implemented in the system. With a flexible dataset retrieval mechanism, ISMAC is a powerful and convenient system for clinical case analysis and clinical knowledge discovery.
