Apparatus and method for detecting an acupoint or other site of interest

摘要

In an apparatus for detecting an acupoint using an intensity of biophotons emitted from a living system in response to magnetic field stimuli, and a method for detecting an acupoint, the apparatus includes a magnetic field application unit for applying a magnetic field to a predetermined site of the living system, a biophoton measurement unit for measuring the intensity of the biophotons emitted from the predetermined site of the living system, and an acupoint determination unit for determining whether the predetermined site is an acupoint based on the intensity of the biophotons measured by the biophoton measurement unit.
