Abstract

As indicators of life quality, early stage medical examination and health care before diseases occur have recently shown great improvement. From this point of view, hand acupuncture, as an alternative medicine to reflect these movements of preventative medicine and health care, is widely used in these days. Therefore, in this paper, we measured the change of bio signals parameters related to liver by stimulating N18 acupuncture point on hand, and then we investigated that possible improvements of liver function is happened or not. For this, we collected image and voice samples related to liver function before and after stimulating the N18 acupuncture point, and we performed experiments by applying image and voice signal processing technologies.
