Abstract

In recent years, there have been advances in the fundamental research of acupuncture, yet the growing disconnect between this research and clinical practice has become increasingly evident. This paper revolves around the establishment of the discipline of Acupuncture Systems Engineering and explores the paradigm shift in acupuncture research from being science-driven to becoming technology-driven, with the aim of reshaping the innovative development path of acupuncture. Acupuncture Systems Engineering aims to investigate acupuncture techniques and their applications, while also seeking to establish research models and method that align with these pursuits, thereby providing new technological means and pathways for the study of acupuncture effects and achieving clinical translation. Under the guidance of Acupuncture Systems Engineering, acupuncture is no longer merely a traditional medical approach but has evolved into a multidisciplinary field of innovative traditional Chinese medicine, incorporating engineering, biology, information technology, artificial intelligence, and more. Through technology-driven research and application, Acupuncture Systems Engineering brings a revitalized and promising future to the field of acupuncture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
