Acupuncture therapy is one of the main modalities of treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Based on the different symptoms of the patient, needling or massaging is applied to the corresponding acupuncture points to relieve the symptoms. However, given that the large number of acupuncture points and the complexity of their specificity, it is difficult for one to remember the location and purpose of each acupuncture point without a period of professional training.
In our system, through the use of argument reality, the acupuncture points will be displayed directly on the image of human body. Compared to the traditional acupoint probe devices that work by measuring the skin conductivity, our system does not require any additional hardware and is purely software-based. In the case of mild symptoms (e.g. headache, sleep disorder), with the aid of our proposed system, the patient can quickly locate the corresponding acupuncture points for the application of massage, and relieve his/her symptoms without the the help from TCM physicians.
The proposed system includes three stages: 1) Symptom Input: The user describes the symptom through voice or text input. 2) Symptom Search: According to the symptom description provided by the user, symptom-related acupuncture points are searched from a database constructed by collecting the knowledge of TCM physicians. 3) Acupoint Visualization: Symptom-related acupuncture points are located and visualized on the image of human body based on the technique of computer vision.

使用者能與以文字或語音等方式輸入症狀做查詢，並將中醫資料庫系統延伸至可攜式裝置，例如透過最貼近的手機即可得到協助在第一時間得知緩解症狀的方法。將查詢結果相關的穴道以影像處理方法並以3D模型達到高精準度，用AR的方式視覺化呈現，提示使用者穴道位置。

民眾透過安裝APP能很容易的學習穴道位置並進行按摩，而不用邊對照穴道模型來尋找穴道。與其他穴道定位方式例如穴道筆來的直覺，因穴道是一次整體視覺化呈現，不須各別穴道分別定位，且定位精準度高。
