Internet TCM Diagnosis: Policy & Compliance Highlights

May 15, 2026Author:Legal & Compliance Centre

From the Internet Hospital Administration Measures to TCM-administration guidance, an overview of the compliance boundaries for internet-based TCM diagnosis.

Key compliance points for internet-based TCM diagnosis include:

  • Scope: internet diagnosis is limited to follow-up care for clearly diagnosed common and chronic conditions. Acute / critical conditions must be addressed at an offline facility;
  • Prescribing authority and e-signature: prescriptions are issued by licensed physicians within their scope of practice;
  • Sensitive personal information: processing of tongue / face / pulse imaging, intake and prescription records requires explicit, separate patient consent;
  • Advertising compliance: language implying absolute efficacy — "cure", "complete eradication", "guaranteed" — is prohibited.
