Devices, systems and methods for controlling a spring force exerted on a sensor for obtaining bio-conductance readings using a linear actuator
A probe device provides an enhanced bioelectric and spring-loaded sensing tip with an integrated force sensor. The probe device measures the bioelectric conductance value from a patient for therapeutic and/or diagnostic purpose using the spring-loaded sensing tip. In addition, the probe device measures the force applied by the spring-loaded sensing tip against the patient using the integrated force sensor. Using feedback from the force sensor and the bioconductive data of the patient, the force applied at the spring-loaded sensing tip may be adjusted to obtain improved results.

Systems and Methods Related to Electrical Stimulation of Mammalian Meridians
A current sensor may take measurements of electrical currents that flow between two limbs of a mammal through at least a portion of the mammal's torso and/or an electrical stimulator may apply an electrical current dose thereto. Current measurements may be taken during a single diagnostic session while a ground electrode contacts the body at a preferably distal location on a limb and a probe electrode is sequentially placed at different locations on distal portions of other limbs. Each of the current delivery locations may be an acupuncture point. An electrical current state for the diagnostic session may be calculated. A lookup table may be used to determine one or more associated possible medical conditions and electrical current dosage may be used in an attempt to alter bodily electrical conductivity.

CONDUCTIVITY COMPENSATION FACTOR FOR ASSESSING BIOELECTRIC MEASUREMENTS
Systems, methods, and devices for capturing and assessing bioelectric measurements. A method includes receiving a skin resistance measurement for a skin site of a user from an electrodermal sensor and determining a standard skin conductivity value. The method includes calculating a compensation factor for the user based at least in part on the skin resistance measurement and the standard skin conductivity value.

Methods and apparatus for electro-meridian diagnostics
A current sensor may take measurements of electrical currents that flow between two limbs of a patient through at least a portion of the patient's torso. The current measurements may be taken during a single diagnostic session while the patient holds a ground electrode in a hand of one limb and a probe electrode is sequentially placed at different locations on the distal portions of other limbs. Each of the measurement locations may be an acupuncture point. An electrical current state for the diagnostic session may be calculated. This state may consist of current ranges for one or more electrical currents that are measured during the session. A lookup table may be employed to determine one or more medical conditions that are indicated by the current state. Alternatively, a trained machine learning model may predict, based on the measured currents, one or more medical conditions.
