Abstract
Background: The foundation of this acupuncture model is to solve the lack of experimental teaching model and student’s inadequate ability to identify acupoints in the teaching of acupuncture and moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine. Methods: In this model we use modern materials to simulate human arms and combination with electronic engineering to create a “Modern Version of Acupuncture Man” and select 2015 undergraduates of Traditional Chinese Medicine School in Jinan University as the research object, to divide those students into two teaching mode which is using acupuncture models or not, to compare their mastery of the acupoint names and position. Results: After the three times different mode teaching and have a test, the average score of using models group was much higher than traditional teaching mode groups (p < 0.05). And all the students expressed that using the model teaching and investigation could better grasp the location and depth of acupoints and enhance their ability of identifying acupoints. Conclusions: The acupuncture models beneficial to the training the acupuncture of Traditional Chinese Medicine students, and also it can make the theory of acupuncture more “Standardization” and “Visualization”.

The acupuncture models beneficial to the training the acupuncture of Traditional Chinese Medicine students, and it can make the theory of acupuncture more “Standardization” and “Visualization”
In order to improve the accuracy of the instrument, save cost and diversify the output of results, parallel-to-serial chips are used to improve the utilization of pins of core chips, and STM32 series chips are used as core chips to identify signals and improve the measurement accuracy by combining location algorithm
