Implementation of Intelligent Electronic Acupuncture System Using Sensor Module
Abstract
Conventional electronic acupuncture can stimulate only one acupuncture point, and patients have to decide the time and the strength by themselves. In order to solve these problems, intelligent electronic acupuncture using biometric sensors and fuzzy technology was developed in this paper. And wireless electronic acupuncture system using sensor modules was developed in this paper. We used the sensor modules to obtain a patient's diagnosis signals. These sensor modules consist of 5 parts. The signals were analyzed to make instructions for the treatment, and the sensing pad for electronic acupuncture was designed. In addition, adaptive wireless acupuncture system was developed to adjust strength and time of acupuncture and several acupuncture points of patients by using fuzzy technology. We implemented efficient wireless electronic acupuncture system to get acupuncture easily using intelligent diagnosis system.
