Digital Herbarium for Chinese Medicines (DHCM) is established by the Government Chinese Medicines Testing Institute (GCMTI) of the DH through digitalisation of Chinese medicines specimens into a digital collection. High-resolution pictures and related data of 220 commonly used Chinese materia medica (CMM) and their source plants are currently included at the DHCM. It is the first online herbarium of its kind that provides comprehensive information on Chinese medicines, and also the first in the world using photogrammetry to produce three dimensional (3D) images on traceable CMM specimens.

「數碼中藥標本館」由衞生署政府中藥檢測中心（檢測中心）構建，將中藥標本數碼化，製作成數字藏品。該館現時收載220種常用藥材及其原植物的標本高清圖片及相關資料，是首個提供全方位數碼中藥資料的網上標本館，也是全球首次利用「攝影測量法」製作可溯源的中藥標本三維（3D）圖像。
