There is a risk of misdiagnosis.

The object of the invention is to provide a diagnostic device for acupuncture treatment which the Meridian that is objectively most closely related to the point of complaint in the body to a Objectively reliable diagnosis through an integration of the patient's subjective complaints and the results from tactile or tactile examinations by the therapist.

To solve this problem, the invention is a j diagnostic device is proposed which has an input part in accordance with corresponding meridians j 15 input signals, which reflect the case history of the ι patient, to show, also a single part, which corresponding meridians based on the therapist's touch or feel carried out investigation shows, and finally an output part that receives the output signals of the two Contracting input parts, calculating and calculating a ratio to a predetermined denominator for each meridian represents the meridian with the highest ratio.

These and other features and advantages of the invention will now be explained with reference to the drawing, and although shows

According to FIG. 1, the diagnostic device comprises an input part 1 for subjective complaint data, which emits corresponding meridians according to the subjective complaints of a patient input signals or passes on, furthermore an input part 2 for data obtained by tactile or tactile examinations, which based on the results of his tactile or tactile examinations entered by the therapist meridians indicates or emits, also a summing part 3, which the output signals of the input parts 1 and 2 summed for each meridian, also a processing part 4, which the ratio of the sum part calculated total displays for each meridian with the corresponding predetermined denominator, and finally an output part 5 'which reproduces a meridian which is the largest in the processing part 5 calculated ratio corresponds.

When "parts" are used here, they generally include electronic circuits or Circuits or electronic components meant.

The answers of a patient, i.e. yes or no, are entered in input part 1 for subjective complaint data Entered as inputs to the following questions, for example: YflHÜne Discussion between the patient and the therapist related to the head and neck areas:

1. I have frequent headaches.
30th

2. I have a severe headache.

3. I have a headache from a cold.

4. I feel pain in my skull.

5. I have a very stiff muscle and feel

j a dull pain in the neck and upper shoulder. . '■

j 5 If the answers to these questions are yes, will : the following signals are emitted from the output:

! In the case of question 1, the bladder and Yu-i meridians; ι in the case of question 2, the bladder meridian, the toku meridian and the Yukyo meridian; in the case of question 3,; the bladder meridian, the triple heater meridian (Triple-heater-meridian), the Gallen-Meridian, the Toku-Meridian, the Yukyo-Meridian, the Yu-i-Meridian and the Tai meridian; in the case of question 4, the small intestine meridian and the Yu-i meridian; in the case of question 5, the bubble meridian and the toku meridian.

In addition, questions are prepared for the back, stomach, face, throat, chest, the lower abdomen, the thighs, the lower legs, the upper arms, the forearms and across the general physical state, with signals indicating the corresponding meridians appearing as an output according to yes-answers. On the other hand, no signal appears at the output if the patient's response to the relevant Asking is no.

The input part 2 for data obtained by tactile or tactile examinations works on yes / no answers of the

the following palpation examinations:

1. The pulse is "rising" and abnormal at the first touch point of the pulse examination.

"35 2. The pulse is" sinking "and abnormal at the first point of the pulse test.

j 130011/0721

3. The pulse is "rising" and abnormal at the second point of the pulse examination.

4. The pulse is the second point of the pulse examination "sinking" and abnormal.

5. The pulse is in the third position of the pulse rate

search "increasing" and abnormal.

6. The pulse is "falling" and abnormal on the third digit of the pulse test.

If the pulse examinations have shown the above diagnoses, the following meridians will be reproduced Signals issued as an output. If the diagnosis corresponds to the digit 1, the colon meridian, the small intestine maridian and the toku meridian appear at the exit if the diagnosis corresponds to number 2, the lung meridian, the heart meridian, the pericardium meridian, the nin meridian and the in-i meridian appear, in the case of the diagnosis according to item 3, the stomach meridian, the biliary meridian, the Yu-i meridian and the Tai meridian, in the case of the diagnosis according to the figure, the spleen meridian, the liver meridian and the Shou meridian; in the case of the diagnosis according to section 5, the bladder meridian and the Yukyo meridian; and in the case of the Diagnosis according to number 6 of the kidney meridian and the Inkyo meridian.

In addition, signals are also given which meridians

view the abdominal symptoms and by touch. observed pain.

The summing part 3 sums the output signals of the input part 1 for each meridian and also the input part 2 for each meridian and finally also the output signals of both input parts 1 and 2 for

corresponding meridians. ¹ 10

For this rendering the meridians are in general; Meridians (Seikei) and special meridians (Kikei)

divided. Since some therapists focus on the treatment, ment of general meridians and other therapists

15 specialized in the treatment of specific meridians: will have the general meridian and the special i show the meridian for each corresponding size value give.

'20 As an example, the results of a meeting j be the following between doctor and patient:

1. The neck is very stiff and so is the patient feels a local dull pain.

2. The muscles in the area between the back and the abdomen have hardened, and there is a localized one

On the other hand, the results of the tactile or tactile examinations can be: 10

1. The pulse at the first point of the pulse test is "sinking" and abnormal.

2. The pulse at the second point of the pulse check is "falling" and abnormal.

the acupuncturist will perform treatments according to the two indications or records can. As a result, this patient's disease name is autonomic imbalance.

As for the construction of the input parts 1 and 2, they receive the abnormal complaints and the tactile examinations as numbers of input signals and emit high output signals representing the general and specific meridians corresponding to the respective number of input signals. The summing part 3 sums the high output signals for each general and special meridian among the number of output signals from the input numbers 1 and 2.

The "here described embodiment. Is for ^training! Valuation suitable by obtained by a personal consultation 'subjective complaints data and sensing survey data on the basis of 50:50. The accuracy of the diagnosis but can be further improved if according to the capabilities of the acupuncturists, the It is also possible to expand the function of the device so that it shows and reproduces not only meridians but also treatment sites.

In Fig. 2 and 3, the treatment sites are indicated by circles and triangles.

The playback part of the device can also consist of a A multiplicity of individual reproduction parts may be formed, which not only correspond to the largest ratio Represents meridians, but also one or more meridians that directly follow the smaller ones or lower ratios.

It is found that the diagnosis device described above is subjective complaint data and by feeling examination Integrate obtained data, determine the meridian on which the object of the human > Body lies and can record or reproduce the result so that it is able to reduce the risk of To reduce misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment due to incorrect assessment of the situation.
