Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the correlation between facial diagnosis and the twelve meridians in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for potential clinical diagnostic applications. Using a stationary camera, facial images were captured and compiled into a comprehensive database, along with participants' medical histories obtained through questionnaires. The results indicated that irregular patterns on participants' faces corresponded to specific meridians, revealing potential organ-related conditions. These findings suggest a correlation between facial reflex zones and the twelve meridians, highlighting the diagnostic potential of this method for identifying early signs of clinical conditions.
