Abstract
Intelligent acupuncture-moxibustion medical equipment is an important force in promoting the inheritance, innovation, and modernization of acupuncture-moxibustion. This paper reviews the development status of intelligent acupuncture-moxibustion medical equipment and related new technologies, as well as the challenges faced. It is found that, with the advancement of technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence, acupuncture-moxibustion medical equipment has shown characteristics of greater precision, miniaturization, intelligence, and portability. However, deficiencies remain in areas such as standardization and regulation, including relatively low rates of effective transformation and a lack of innovation in research outcomes. Therefore, there is an urgent need to formulate corresponding strategies: improving the development of relevant standards for intelligent acupuncture-moxibustion medical equipment, encouraging the integration of medicine and engineering, cultivating interdisciplinary talents, and strengthening the protection of invention patents. It is necessary to establish a demand-oriented pathway connecting "equipment development, equipment evaluation, product formation" through multiple stages such as talent training and research project initiation, thereby promoting the modernization and standardization of intelligent acupuncture-moxibustion medical equipment and supporting the revitalization of traditional medicine.
期刊介绍:
Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion (founded in 1981, monthly) is an authoritative academic journal of acupuncture and moxibustion under the supervision of China Association for Science and Technology and co-sponsored by Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion Society and Institute of Acupuncture and Moxibustion of China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is recognised as a core journal of Chinese science and technology, a core journal of Chinese language, and is included in the core journals of China Science Citation Database, as well as being included in MEDLINE and other international well-known medical index databases. The journal adheres to the tenet of ‘improving, taking into account the popularity, colourful and realistic’, and provides valuable learning and communication opportunities for the majority of acupuncture and moxibustion clinical and scientific research workers, and plays an important role in the domestic and international publicity and promotion of acupuncture and moxibustion disciplines.
