Abstract
An electronic acupuncture system may include a hand-held, electronic acupuncture device in communication with a remote computing device. The electronic device may include a grip probe held by the patient for applying a first diagnosis voltage through the patient's body, and a search probe applying pressure against the skin of the patient and receiving measurable diagnosis data from the patient. The received diagnosis data is converted into a digital signal for display on the electronic acupuncture device and/or for processing and display at the remote computing device. Based on the diagnosis data, the patient may be treated with a second treatment voltage.
