“…MEAD has been shown in other clinical studies to provide both reliable and significant results for analysis of the meridian energy and the index of the vagal-sympathetic balance. 6,15,30,31 The measurements were started with very low current and gradually increased to a maximum value of 200 µA. Recordings of the electrical conductivity of the meridians were entered directly into a computerized system.…”

Background. Kuan-Sin-Yin (KSY) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction, which has been shown to have cytostatic effects on cancer cells and involved in the TCM theory of promoting yin-yang balance.Sonce many cancer patients suffer from autonomic dysfunction (AD), which correspond to yin-yang imbalance in TCM. The aim of this study is to evaluate the possible effect of KSY in metastatic colon cancer (mCRC) patients with AD. Methods.We conducted a single-group experiment. Total 52 qualified patients were enrolled. Participants took the KSY daily for 2 weeks. The primary outcome was KSY efficacy as reflected in the heart rate variability (HRV) and electrical conductivity (µA) over 12 meridian points. Autonomic function was examined before and after the KSY intervention. The vagal and sympathetic tone were recorded by HRV; 12 meridian energies were measured using a meridian energy analysis device. Secondary outcomes were cancer-related symptoms and patient quality of life (QoL). Results.The results showed that the KSY intervention improved AD via increasing the vagal tone (HF: P = .041), but not the sympathetic tone (LF: P = .154); total autonomic activity was significantly enhanced (HRV activity: P = .013). Intriguingly, energy increased more over the yin meridian (P = .010) than over the yang meridian (P = .015). Cancer-related symptoms and QoL were significantly improved (P < .05). Conclusion.The safety and effectiveness of KSY in improving AD in mCRC patients are through regulating the vagalsympathetic dynamic balance, which correspond to the TCM yin-yang concept of energy.

In our previous work a multi-level slow intelligence system with multiple sensors, called the TDR system, was developed [1]. It consists of interacting supercomponents each with different computation cycles specified by an abstract machine model. The TDR system has three major super-components: Tian (Heaven), Di (Earth) and Ren (Human), which are the essential ingredients of a human-centric psycho-physical system following the Chinese philosophy. Each super-component further consists of interacting components supported by an SIS server. In this paper we further developed a mobile TDR system for smart phones, intended for practicing health exercises such as conducting meditation. The initial experimental results and further research topics are discussed.

“…The Chi supercomponent is regarded as at a higher level. It has attributes including both objective measurements and subjective evaluations [4]. This makes the Chi super-component both pro-active and adaptive at multiple levels.…”

Abstract-The TDR system is an experimental multi-level slow intelligence system for personal health care. The TDR system can be used by a single user or a group of users who will interact to understand, maintain and improve each other's state of health. In this paper, we simulate social networks by applying the Abstract Machine model. Two social network models are described: the Circulated Model and the Teacher Student Model. We have incorporated the Teacher Student Model into the Chi super-component of the TDR system and obtained positive experimental results.Keywords-Personal health care system, slow intelligence system, social network, abstract machine model.
