11497909 · 2022-11-15 ·

Aspects of the invention include a computer-implemented method requiring loading, via a processor, a meridian tool into an electrical device having an input screen. The method causes, via the processor, the meridian tool to display a human body image on the input screen. The method receives, via the processor, input signals from the input screen to indicate pain points on the human body image and displays, via the processor, a pain level input display on the input screen. The method receives, via the processor, pain level input from the pain level input display screen and causes, via the processor, the electrical device to provide controlling electrical pulses to a meridian acupuncture sleeve, wherein the controlling electrical pulses controls the application of current being applied to electrical pads within the meridian acupuncture sleeve to provide pain relief for the pain points on the human body.
