Objectives
Recently, Sasang Constitutional Analysis Tool (SCAT) was developed using face, body shape, questionnaire, and
voice information. The purpose of this paper is to analysis the characteristics of SCAT in detail for the subjects
whose Sasang Constitutional (SC) type was confirmed clearly.
Methods
1) The SC types of 108 patients were diagnosed by an expert of Sasang constitutional medicine through the
observation of improvements after taking more than 20 packs of herbal medicine prescribed
2) The diagnostic results of SCAT were acquired for the patients.
3) Comparison between diagnostic results of the SCAT and expert was performed according to SC probability
difference, the number of packs of herbal medicine prescribed, the number of hospital visits, and age.
Results
1) The concordance rate was 65.9% and 59.4% in the male and female groups, respectively.
2) Overall, the concordance rate increased as the SC probability difference increased. In case of more than 5%
SC probability difference, it increased up to 71.0% and 66.7% in the male and female groups, respectively.
3) The concordance rate did not show any trend as the number of packs of herbal medicine prescribed and the
number of hospital visits increased.
4) The higher concordance rate was observed in Taeeumin, Soyangin, and 20s ∼ 40s groups of male patients,
and in Soyangin, 20s, and 40s groups of female patients.
Conclusions
The strong and weak points of SCAT were observed and they will contribute to the improvement of SCAT performance. |
