  Abstract

In this paper, we compared the existing two-dimensional tongue diagnosis systems that can understand the health state with the tongue, and introduced the 3D tongue diagnosis system developed by this institution. In addition, we discussed the direction to apply the tongue diagnosis to a mobile system. We have introduced the methods to detect health condition such as dyspepsia, evacuation disorder, sleep disorder, and upper respiratory tract infection by photographing a tongue image and analyzing the physical quantity from the image. Non-invasive observation for the internal functions of the human body can be applied not only to the current tongue diagnosis system but also to the mobile system if a lighting environment can be controlled. For this purpose, we observed the possibility of observing the consistent state of the tongue by taking tongue images with a mobile system. It is expected that the diffusion and development of medical diagnosis technology with a tongue including u-Health will be more active and thus contribute to the reduction of medical expenses.
