Prakriti200: A Questionnaire-Based Dataset of 200 Ayurvedic Prakriti Assessments
This provides a structured dataset for computational intelligence and personalized health analytics in Ayurvedic studies, but it is incremental as it focuses on data collection rather than new methods.
The authors introduced Prakriti200, a dataset of 200 responses to a bilingual questionnaire for assessing Ayurvedic Prakriti traits, enabling automated scoring and analysis of physical, physiological, and psychological characteristics.
This dataset provides responses to a standardized, bilingual (English-Hindi) Prakriti Assessment Questionnaire designed to evaluate the physical, physiological, and psychological characteristics of individuals according to classical Ayurvedic principles. The questionnaire consists of 24 multiple-choice items covering body features, appetite, sleep patterns, energy levels, and temperament. It was developed following AYUSH/CCRAS guidelines to ensure comprehensive and accurate data collection. All questions are mandatory and neutrally phrased to minimize bias, and dosha labels (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) are hidden from participants. Data were collected via a Google Forms deployment, enabling automated scoring of responses to map individual traits to dosha-specific scores. The resulting dataset provides a structured platform for research in computational intelligence, Ayurvedic studies, and personalized health analytics, supporting analysis of trait distributions, correlations, and predictive modeling. It can also serve as a reference for future Prakriti-based studies and the development of intelligent health applications.
