Abstract

Relevance The widely used method for diagnosing the human body according to I. Nakatani is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine. Its advantages include non-invasiveness, simplicity of hardware implementation, the possibility of rapid machine processing of measurement results, suitability for express diagnostics, and wide distribution abroad and in Russia. The disadvantage of I. Nakatani’s technique is the use of outdated hardware solutions with low accuracy of measurement results and often the impossibility of comparing results obtained using different hardware solutions. Aim of research Adaptation of diagnostic methods according to I. Nakatani to the use of modern, more metrologically reliable hardware and simplification of digital data processing. Research methods In this work, an attempt is made to combine the advantages of I. Nakatani’s diagnostic method and modern hardware solutions based on measuring generators with prescribed electrical power. The possibility of bringing measurement results obtained using various instruments to a general form is considered. Formulas are presented for converting from the results of measurements of electrical resistance at acupuncture points into units of the nonlinear empirical scale used in I. Nakatani’s method. Results Applying of I. Nakatani’s methodology with new hardware solutions based on measuring generators with prescribed electrical power will increase the reliability of the obtained measurement results and diagnostics in general. The use of formulas for recalculating the results obtained using measuring generators of a given electrical power will make it possible to compare with data obtained using the classical method of I. Nakatani and fully use the practical experience and statistical data gained in this method, including those obtained by foreign researchers of traditional Chinese medicine.
