About: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has played an important role in the prevention and control of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19), and community prevention has become the most essential part in reducing the spread risk and protecting populations. However, most communities use a uniform TCM prevention program for all residents, which violates the%22treatment based on syndrome differentiation%22principle of TCM and limits the effectiveness of prevention. In this paper, we propose an intelligent optimization method to develop diversified TCM prevention programs for community residents. First, we use a fuzzy clustering method to divide the population based on both modern medicine and TCM health characteristics; we then use an interactive optimization method, in which TCM experts develop different TCM prevention programs for different clusters, and a heuristic algorithm is used to optimize the programs under the resource constraints. We demonstrate the computational efficiency of the proposed method and report its successful application to TCM-based prevention of COVID-19 in 12 communities in Zhejiang province, China, during the peak of the pandemic.   Goto Sponge  NotDistinct  Permalink
