An applicator comprises a first structural element which has a shape determined according to a digital geometric representation of a target structure, the applicator further comprises an active agent located according to a diagnostic scan of the target structure.

The present disclosure provides a method of treating allergies and autoimmune diseases using microsystem acupuncture. Methods provided herein for treating allergies and autoimmune diseases using microsystem acupuncture involving a novel allergy zone. In embodiments, the method includes identifying an allergy zone (AZ) (Soliman Allergy Zone (SAZ)) (FIG. 1A) in an acupuncture microsystem of a subject in need of treatment and treating the zone to treat the allergy or autoimmune disease. In embodiments, treating the zone includes introducing an acupuncture needle in the zone. In particular embodiments, the method includes identifying one or more active points in the liver projection site of the AZ and treating the active point or points.

A three-dimensional acupoint mapping method executable by a computing device is disclosed. The present invention comprises the steps of: retrieving a standard template having a 3D data of human organ and a standard position of an acupoint; transforming coordinate system of the standard template as a 3D image of a patient including coordinates of the patient's organ corresponding to the human organ of the standard template is input; retrieving coordinates of the standard position of the acupoint from the transformed coordinate system of the standard template; and calculating a patient's acupoint's coordinates by mapping the retrieved coordinates of the standard position of the acupoint to the 3D image of a patient.

A method causes relaxation of a muscle of a body of a person or an animal. In a period in which a patient moves his or her body in a reciprocating manner to expand and contract the muscle, the patient or another person presses an arbitrary spot on the skin of the patient toward the muscle using a fingertip, for example. The pressing by the fingertip is controlled so that the area of the pressed spot on the skin falls within a range of 2 cm.sup.2 to 0.1 cm.sup.2 and the pressing force applied to the pressed spot falls within a range of 1 kgf to 100 gf.

System and method for providing remotely guided physical treatment are disclosed. A computing device is communicably coupled to a therapeutic robot and a remote guidance device. The computing device receives full-body images of a treatment subject. The computing device generates a plurality of key physical points for the treatment subject by identifying a three-dimensional human body template that corresponds to the shape and posture parameters of the treatment subject and fitting the identified first three-dimensional human body template to the full-body images of the treatment subject. The fitting causes adjustments to locations of the corresponding set of key physical points of the first three-dimensional human body template. The adjusted locations of the corresponding set of key physical points of the first three-dimensional human body template are provided to the guidance device as basis for a treatment procedure that is specified by the treatment guidance provider during the physical treatment session.

Exemplary embodiments of a method, device, and apparatus for positioning an apparatus on a location of a tissue. For example, a substantially rigid film over an area of tissue to be treated can be provided. The film can include a positioning arrangement that facilitates a particular spatial engagement with the apparatus. The exemplary method can further include applying a portion of the film to a portion of a surface of the tissue and positioning the apparatus at the location by the engagement of the film to the apparatus using the feature of the film.

A massage control method includes obtaining three-dimensional parameter data of a user, determining acupuncture points, a position of a first part, and a position of a second part of the user according to the three-dimensional parameter data, adjusting a position of a massage device according to the three-dimensional parameter data so that the position of the massage device corresponds to the three-dimensional parameter data, and aligning at least one massage component of the massage device with the acupuncture points according to the positions of the first part and the second part of the user.
