Abstract

In this paper, hand acupuncture used as a way of life medicine in everyday life, the influence of human organ will be investigated by applying IT techniques. For this, hand acupuncture is based on priority of the most important organ in the human body to target the cardiac associated with cardiac reflex point A16 acupuncture point before and after for 5 min to stimulation of facial images were collected and applied to the Lab color system associated with the cardiac, color value of cheonjung and lips region were measured for comparison and analysis. Finally, by measuring the change in bio-image signals A16 acupuncture point stimulation effects on cardiac function were performed to investigate the effectiveness of acupuncture. Also, statistical significance tests from the experimental results were performed whether the experimental results is valid or not.

본 논문에서는 일상생활에서 생활 의학의 한 방편으로 사용되고 있는 수지침이 실제 인체장기에 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 대해 IT 기술을 적용하여 이를 규명하는 연구를 행하고자 한다. 이를 위해 우선적으로 수지침 요법을 기반으로 인체에 있어 가장 중요한 장기인 심장을 대상으로 심장과 관련된 손 반사점인 A16 혈자리를 5분간 자극하여 전과 후의 얼굴 영상을 수집하고 Lab 색체계를 적용하여 심장과 연관된 이마와 입술 영역에 대한 색상 측정을 통해 상호간의 비교, 분석을 수행하였다. 최종적으로 생체 영상신호의 변화량 측정에 의해 A16 혈자리 자극으로 심장기능에 미치는 효과를 규명하는 연구를 수행하였으며 실험 결과 자료들에 대해 유의성 분석을 통해 실험 결과 자료가 유효한 결과 자료인지 여부에 대한 규명을 행하고자 한다.
