Design of Measuring System of ASC (Acupuncture Spot Current) for Constitutional Diagnosis

Abstract

In Sasang Medicine, which is a part of Eastern Traditional Medicine, human body is classified by constitutions for diagnosis and treatment. In this study, a fundamental study on the ways and means of measuring the constitutions is classified in Sasang Medicine. A method of measuring ASC (Acupuncture Spot Current) through acupuncture spots on human body is proposed, together with a way to extract characteristic points of measured signals. Based on the characteristic analysis of the measured ASC, it is able to define the measured signals of experimental targets through classification, and the defined characteristics of ASC were determined to be able to be utilized in developing systems for medical constitutional classification.
