Abstract:
Pain is one of the most important sensations in daily life. Bio Electro Acupuncture device is an electronic device which generates small electrical pulses which decrease the rate of pain signals to the brain. During a Bio Electro Acupuncture treatment, the body releases natural pain killers called Beta Endorphins. These powerful pain killers are produced typically by the body which is thousands times more effective than aspirin. When electric pulses enter the nerves, they travel both ways up to the spinal cord and down to where from nerves start in the tissues. These electric pulses collide with the upcoming pain pulses and hit them out which reduces the total pain. A user can adjust the intensity of the electric pulses according to the pain sensations in the body. In addition to Bio Electro Acupuncture device, this project also includes an autonomous robotic arm with acupoint detector assembly which can serve as an experimental prototype unit so even patient can use by his/her self easily.
