Conditions
Summary
Myasthenia gravis primarily results from neuromuscular junction dysfunction and damage, leading to chronic muscle weakness. While combined traditional and Western medicine treatments are now common, TCM tongue diagnosis remains a simple and practical clinical method. However, results can vary among different practitioners. Therefore, you are interested in using scientific methods to compare TCM tongue diagnosis images between patients with myasthenia gravis and healthy individuals to aid in diagnosis.

Interventions
Please have the participant lie down and rest for 10 minutes, and remove any metallic items from their body. Next, put on the wrist-worn monitor, and avoid moving during the monitoring process. The device will emit a sound when the monitoring session is complete.
Use a camera to capture images of the tongue, and then have a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner perform the diagnosis based on these images.
