Moxibustion Bots: Health Breakthrough or AI Gimmick?

In today's era of rapid technological development, traditional Chinese medicine therapy is also undergoing an unprecedented transformation. What kind of sparks will be created when the ancient moxibustion technique meets advanced robotic technology? At the World Health Expo, a globally renowned technology event, the appearance of the moxibustion robot gave a stunning answer, especially the innovative achievements brought by Zhimei Kangmin, which is leading the traditional Chinese medicine therapy experience to a new height.

The dilemma of traditional moxibustion needs to be broken through

As a thousand-year-old Chinese medicine therapy, moxibustion is widely recognized for its effect of warming and unblocking meridians, but the traditional method has obvious drawbacks. The moxa smoke produced by burning contains harmful substances such as benzene, which not only causes the indoor PM2.5 concentration to exceed the standard, but also puts both doctors and patients at risk of respiratory damage. Clinical studies have shown that the concentration of benzene in traditional moxibustion sites can reach 0.45mg/m³, which is 3 times higher than the national standard limit, becoming the primary obstacle to the development of the industry.

The deeper dilemma lies in the shackles of the manpower-dependent service model. The efficacy of moxibustion depends largely on the experience and techniques of the moxibustion practitioner. A slight deviation may affect the efficacy and even cause skin burns. Clinical data show that the incidence of burns caused by artificial moxibustion is as high as 5%. It takes several years to train an excellent moxibustionist, and the current training standards for moxibustionists in the industry are not unified, and talents are scarce, which makes it difficult to achieve the scale and standardization of traditional moxibustion services.

Zhimei Kangmin Moxibustion Robot: Technology Integration Brings Innovation

On the stage of the World Health Expo, the moxibustion robot displayed by Zhimei Kangmin became the focus. It integrates a number of advanced technologies, directly hits the pain points of traditional moxibustion, and reshapes the physiotherapy experience.

1. Accurate acupoint positioning: millimeter-level accuracy

Zhimei Kangmin Moxibustion Robot has a built-in advanced AI acupoint positioning system. The system relies on more than 100,000 human body modeling data. It can intelligently match the key acupoints of the human body, such as Mingmen and Shenshu, according to the user's height, shoulder width and other parameters, and control the acupoint positioning error to a very small range, achieving millimeter-level precision acupoint finding. In actual clinical trials, the acupoint coverage rate of intelligent moxibustion is 28% higher than that of manual operation, which greatly improves the accuracy and efficacy of moxibustion.

2. Simulation of master-level techniques: inheritance and innovation

The Zhimei Kangmin moxibustion robot adopts cutting-edge servo robot technology, which can accurately reproduce the six traditional moxibustion techniques such as sparrow pecking moxibustion, spiral moxibustion, reciprocating moxibustion, and hovering moxibustion. It is like an experienced moxibustion master performing the technique, making every moxibustion just right. This simulation not only retains the essence of traditional moxibustion techniques, but also ensures that the strength, frequency and duration of each moxibustion are highly consistent through the precise control of the robot, avoiding possible deviations in manual operation, and bringing users a stable and efficient physical therapy experience.

3. Safe and worry-free: multiple protection mechanisms

In terms of safety, the Zhimei Kangmin moxibustion robot has built multiple safety protection mechanisms. On the one hand, the intelligent temperature control technology uses infrared temperature control to control the temperature error within ±1℃, and monitors the skin surface temperature in real time through the temperature sensor. Once the temperature is abnormal, the system will make adjustments immediately. On the other hand, the moxibustion chamber adopts a suspended structure and supports 35-90mm free lifting and adjustment. When it is detected that the moxibustion distance is less than the safety threshold, the system will automatically lift the moxibustion head to reduce the risk of burns to less than 0.3%, which is 16 times safer than manual operation. In addition, it also has an automatic obstacle avoidance function, which effectively avoids collisions with users during moxibustion and ensures user safety in all aspects.

4. Smoke-free and fresh environment: purification technology upgrade experience

In response to the problem of large smoke in traditional moxibustion, Zhimei Kangmin moxibustion robot is equipped with advanced smoke-free purification technology. Through an efficient filtration system, the smoke generated during moxibustion can be quickly adsorbed and decomposed, and the PM2.5 concentration can be controlled within 15μg/m³, ensuring that the moxibustion environment is fresh and natural, completely saying goodbye to the trouble of smoke, and creating a comfortable and healthy physiotherapy space for users. Even people who are sensitive to smoke can enjoy moxibustion services with peace of mind.

The World Health Expo witnessed the great changes brought by Zhimei Kangmin moxibustion robot to traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy. By integrating advanced robotic technology with traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion, it effectively solves many pain points of traditional moxibustion and brings users a new treatment experience that is accurate, safe, comfortable and efficient. With the continuous development and improvement of technology, moxibustion robots are expected to be applied in a wider range of fields, allowing traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion, a treasure, to shine more brightly with the blessing of modern technology, benefiting more people who pursue a healthy life.
