Implementation of electronic acupuncture using fuzzy rules

Abstract

Purpose

Implementation of intelligent electronic needles is presented that can judge the physical conditions of a patient and be applied anytime anywhere with the information of pulse waves sent from a remote place through the web. The paper aims to discuss these issues.

Design/methodology/approach

The present research developed a web-based system of electronic acupuncture using fuzzy rules. Anybody can use his or her smart phone and select a file in the menu that automatically calculates optimal points and time of acupuncture.

Findings

A set of experiments found improvement of the time of acupuncture by 25 percent.
