Compared with physical structure detection

results of functional status detection possess 4 features:functionality

integrality

rheological property

and rhythmicity. Detection of biological signals

metabolite and dynamic monitoring of bioactive substance released by Nerves-Endocrine-Immunomodulation system all belong to functional status detection. Evaluation norms in functional status detection can be set

but evaluation standard cannot be established. Functional status detection can supplement deficiency in western medical testing

improve treatment based on syndrome differentiation system of TCM

and promote transformation in medical model.
