Abstract: In recent years,although significant progress has been made in the application of large-scale language models(LLMs) in the medical field,they still face two core challenges in TCM scenarios:firstly,the contradiction between the dynamic demand of arithmetic resources and the cost control,and secondly,the difficulty of the traditional localised deployment architecture to support real-time updating of the knowledge base of TCM and the demand for complex reasoning.This paper proposes an intelligent recommendation system for pCms based on cloud-native architecture and retrieval-enhanced generation(RAG) technology,which constructs a dynamically updated online pCm knowledge base through the elastic arithmetic resources of AliCloud's Hundred Refinement Platform and Tongyi Thousands of Questions-Max-Latest Big Model,combined with the DashScope API interface and the low-code development platform,AppBuilder.Taking cold and flu as a validation scenario,the system integrates the Chinese Pharmacopoeia,the Chinese medicine clinical diagnosis and treatment terminology system,and the personalised consultation data on cold and flu from Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2024,and integrates in-depth knowledge retrieval and generative reasoning capability driven by RAG technology.Through multiple rounds of interactive consultation and dynamic recommendation strategies,the system is able to generate a personalised medication plan based on patients' symptom characteristics,constitution identification and real-time feedback,which is in line with the principles of Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment.This system effectively addresses the dual challenges of static knowledge bases and constrained dynamic allocation of computing resources in traditional pCm recommendation systems through the elastic scaling mechanism of cloud services and the efficient knowledge integration of RAG technology.It provides a feasible technical solution for the intelligent development of traditional Chinese medicine,while significantly improving the precision of treatment plans and patient satisfaction.
