Abstract
Devices and methods for measuring and monitoring electrical properties related to acupuncture points in real time. Devices include a plurality of electrodes; a regulated voltage supply adapted to provide a voltage to one or more of the plurality of electrodes; and an output device adapted to output information based on measurements taken from each of the plurality of electrodes in approximately real time, wherein the information is adapted for use in oriental medicine diagnosis or treatment. Methods include affixing electrodes to a plurality of acupuncture points; measuring the current or resistance at each of the electrodes under regulated voltage; and outputting the measurements in real time. Additional methods include approximately simultaneously measuring the current or resistance at a plurality of acupuncture points under regulated voltage; and outputting the measurements in real time.
