In July this year, Aiteaic, a Singapore-based wellness technology company, has unveiled a proprietary TCM diagnostic platform that uses best-in-class AI vision technology to deliver tongue-based constitution analysis. The platform makes its first appearance at 2 events namely CHI Innovate 2026 (2–4 July) and Singapore’s first AI-driven TCM afternoon tea at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore.
Its AI vision engine, trained on more than 6,000 tagged tongue images, has been validated against a Springer Nature – published benchmark of 83.7% accuracy for 9-class TCM constitution classification, with API licensing for wellness, healthcare and hospitality partners opening later this year.
The Aiteaic platform comprises 3 integrated components:
(1) The scan: Users capture a tongue image via a web app. The AI vision engine analyses it against a proprietary TCM diagnostic rule set, identifying the user’s body constitution — such as Qi Deficiency, Damp-Heat or Yin Deficiency — in under 30 seconds.
(2)The match: Based on the result, the system will recommend 1 of the 11 herbal tea formulations developed using TCM ingredient principles.
(3)The brew: The recommended capsule is brewed using Aiteaic’s patented nanobubble high-pressure extraction machine, which preserves up to 97% of the herbs’ active compounds — delivering a smooth, nutrient-rich cup with no bitterness. The entire scan-to-sip journey takes less than two minutes.
Jovalene Teo, CEO & Founder of Alteaic and Luli said, “We’ve built an integrated TCM wellness system — not just an AI model. The AI is the engine, but our proprietary TCM diagnostic logic, herbal formulations, and patented nanobubble extraction technology are what make the experience truly unique. We’re not an AI lab — we’re a TCM wellness company that uses AI to make ancient wisdom accessible, delicious and personal.”
The platform or system builds on Luli’s SBR Technology Excellence Award 2026, which recognised its TCM AI Mirror in the AI – Food & Beverage category. Luli’s platform has served over 3,000 people and, during a pilot at Meta Singapore, recorded a 92% user satisfaction rate. Luli was also named Best Tea 2025 by The Straits Times.
Following the 2 events, Aiteaic will open API access to wellness brands, healthcare providers and hospitality partners, with indicative pricing from US$0.01 per scan. Luli, a modern TCM tea brand, is the consumer face of Aiteaic, and it operates a flagship store at Marina Square.
