Here is an article from Acupuncture Today about a computerized method of diagnosis that prints out a bunch of pretty charts for patients/clients.
You know what? The practitioner needs to be skilled in Pulse Diagnosis by hand (in my humble opinion). Sure, people like colorful graphs. But they also like someone who can take their pulses, DRAW how they look, and then explain them in plain English. Additionally, these machines do not tell the person how the qi is working between channels or why it is not flowing properly. This is told by putting your hands/fingers on the patient and feeling the qi person-to-person.
