The TEAM™ app acts as an extension of our learning courses, providing an interactive platform where theoretical knowledge meets practical application. For practitioners and students alike, the app ensures that the rich teachings of the course are not just absorbed but are readily applicable in a clinical setting.
By aligning the app's functionalities with the course's objectives, we empower practitioners to transition seamlessly from theory to practice. The app ensures that the foundational knowledge gained through the course is actionable, supporting practitioners in delivering precise, evidence-based treatments that reflect the course's teachings.
The TEAM™ app emerges as a pinnacle of innovation in the realm of Traditional East Asian Medicine. Designed to support healthcare professionals by providing immediate access to a wealth of information on the TEAM™ model. This sophisticated mobile application, born from over seven years of meticulous development and clinical trials, stands as a testament to innovation, specifically designed to empower users to enhance their clinical practice through informed decision-making and promotes an environment of knowledge sharing.
Central to the app are four ground-breaking features designed to revolutionize the way practitioners interact with and apply TEAM™ principles in clinical settings:
• Herb Database: This feature offers instant access to comprehensive details on 100+ herbs, including their primary and secondary indications, flavours, functions, properties, and connections to formula structures.
• Formula Database: An exhaustive repository of formulas are available beyond the TEAM™ modules, organized alphabetically for ease of navigation. It links seamlessly with the herb database, providing insights into indications, abdominal presentations, and tongue coatings; alongside detailed information on associated herbs and dosages.
• Formula Identification (Beta Phase): Inspired by the cryptographic achievements of Alan Turing and his team, this feature exclusive to the TEAM™ app introduces an innovative approach to determining the most suitable formula according to a disease presentation. It applies a logical deduction process that combines yes/no questions, abdominal, and tongue diagnosis to narrow down the correct formula pattern, thereby reducing human error.
• Herb Identification (Beta Phase): Another propriety licensed innovation on the app enables practitioners to pinpoint the ideal formula prescription based on a herb's primary indication. This step-by-step tool aids in navigating through herb options and their formula associations, ensuring the selection of the most effective treatment path.
The TEAM™ app's philosophy underscores the importance of aligning primary indications with formula-disease patterns to restore natural function without interposing personal bias. It supports the use of ancient methodologies, validated through millennia, to prescribe with confidence until the desired therapeutic outcome is achieved. The app not only facilitates this alignment but also enhances the practitioner's ability to deliver clear, evidence-based treatments.
“The role of a medical doctor is to align primary indications according to formula-disease patterns to restore natural function. Confidence in your formula prescription ensues when you do not put yourself inbetween the presenting evidence and the formula structure. When a medical doctor uses the ancient method of aligning formula-disease patterns according to tangible evidence, they provide clear answers and remain confident in their single formula prescription until the necessary reaction is complete. They know the process required to eliminate the disease toxin and restore natural function, because it has been described and replicated for thousands of years.”
Furthermore, the app houses additional features such as 'Under Review' for emerging TEAM methods and a 'Formula Case Database' for sharing and learning from clinical experiences. These components encourage continuous professional development and collaboration within the TEAM community.
Integration of these tools into daily practice simplifies the identification of formula-disease patterns, making the profound knowledge of ancient medical science readily accessible in modern clinical settings. It also fosters a vibrant community of practitioners dedicated to advancing the practice of TEAM through shared insights and experiences.
To bolster this community, the app includes a 'Community Forum and Chatroom', designed for TEAM-certified practitioners and members to engage, learn, and build relationships founded on their collective passion for Traditional East Asian Medicine. This initiative is rooted in the belief that collective growth and success stem from a supportive and collaborative community environment, ensuring the enduring evolution of TEAM practices.
In essence, the TEAM™ app is not just a tool but a bridge connecting the timeless wisdom of ancient medical science with the practical needs of working with real-time patients, embodying the spirit of innovation, collaboration, and excellence in the field of Traditional East Asian Medicine.
