Title: Quantitative beurteilung der aktivität von akupunkturkanälen
Inventor: MUZHIKOV VALERIJ GENNAD'EVICH
IPC: G16H50/70
Filed: 2021-06-28
Abstract: Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf die Medizin. Genauer gesagt, geht es um die Akupunkturdiagnose. Die Erfindung ermöglicht die Überwachung des Zustands der Akupunkturkanäle auch im Dauerüberwachungsmodus durch Analyse der Phasen- und Spektralkomponenten der Pulswelle. Das Ergebnis, das mit der Methode, dem System und dem Modul erreicht wird, ist eine erhebliche Vereinfachung der Technik, da es keine kontinuierliche aktive Messung der AK-Temperatur-Schmerzempfindlichkeitsschwellen nach dem Akabane-Test gibt. In diesem Fall reicht es aus, einen Finger auf den Pulssensor zu legen, um die AK-Aktivität nach einer Reihe von "Lernmaßnahmen" zu bewerten. Bei Patienten mit Herz-Kreislauf-Problemen ist es auch möglich, ein EKG zu erhalten, indem die beiden Elektroden des Geräts gleichzeitig mit den Fingern beider Hände getrennt berührt werden. Dies ist bei einigen Systemvarianten möglich.
