Features in Detail:

• Location Database page:
  • Includes the standard Acupuncture Point locations of all 361 main meridian acupuncture points AND 36 Extra points for a total of 401 points.
    • This page includes a blank 'My Clinic Notes' area where you can keep track of: Point Actions, Indications, Needling Technique / Depth, basically anything you need to have associated with a particular point - Just type it in directly or import any existing data you have via Desktop AcuPoints.
  • With the new "Size" button located on the Location page, you can easily change the display font size.  Increase for easier reading or decrease to show more information per page.
  • Cx: Compare function allows you to compare two acupuncture points at the same time!
    
    
• Diagnosis & Treatment Database page:  This page contains over 50 TCM Diagnosis complete with Signs / Symptoms and Acupuncture treatment points.  You have the ability to Create, Edit, Delete and Customize your own diagnosis and treatment protocols. Now you can create specific diagnosis with associated treatments. Click a Diagnosis and all the associated information appears. You can add: points, signs / symptoms, tongue / pulse, formulas, herbs, etc.
  
  
• Mu / Shu / Spine page: Includes each of the 12 main meridians and their associated Back Shu point, spinous process where the Shu point can be located from and the Front Mu of each meridian.
  
  
• Influential / Command / Confluent page: Includes all the Influential points (ex. UB-17 Influential for blood) and 4 Command points for each body area (ex. LI-4 for the Face and Mouth area).
  • The 8 Confluent Points with Pop-up Indications.
    
    
• 4 Point Needle Technique page: This page takes all the hard work out of finding the Tonification and Sedation points according to the 4 Point Needle Technique. Just choose a Meridian from the drop-down box and all the points are displayed instantly. COLOR Coding leads your eyes right to the set of points you need.
  
  
• Miscellaneous Points page: Displays the Entry, Exit, Horary, Luo, Source, XI, Lower He-Sea, Tonification, and Sedation point for any given meridian. 5-element points are also included: Well, Spring, etc.. with automatic COLOR coding according to the 5-elements & Yin / Yang organ designation. Ex. Well points for Yang Meridians begin on the Metal element hence the well point color is White, etc.. Also, the Active time for the Organ is displayed according to the Midday - Midnight Cycle.
  
  New to this version is the currently active Organ. Pocket AcuPoints displays this based on the current time of day.
  
  
• Needle Sizes and Gauges page: Displays a page with Chinese Gauge to Millimeter to Japanese Gauge conversions. COLOR coding is used to denote the Seirin brand needle handle color. Also, at the bottom is a needle length conversion from inches to millimeters, etc.
  
  
• Front, Back and Side Body Measurements page: Displays a picture with the anatomical Cun measurements for the human body.
  
  
• Search Results page: Forget running a search again! This page displays a list of your last search results. Easily compare and contrast your search hits. The Toolbar holds a button to quickly access this page.
  • Now the new searching feature traverses both databases at once - searching your "My Clinic Notes" AND "Diagnosis" databases at the same time. Then the new unified Results page returns the items that matched your search in a 3-state window. This allows you to view results from both databases at once (the Split-View), or just the results from the "My Clinic Notes" database (the View-Points view) OR just the results from the "Diagnosis" database (the View-Dx view). It's completely up to you how you want to see your search results, just click a button!
    
    
• Single Search: allows you to search for ANY text in your 'My Clinic Notes' section. So, if you typed in all the actions for each of your points, finding all the points that, say 'Clear Heat', is a snap. AcuPoints produces a list of all the points that contain your search term then a single click brings you right to that point. How's that for fast and easy?
  
  
• Smart Searching (borrowed from Pocket tcmHerbs). Intelligence is built into AcuPoints allowing you to use the stylus to highlight any text and click the Search button to instantly run a search. NO typing is needed!
  
  
• Multi-Search: This very powerful search feature allows you to search your databases using up to three different keywords at the same time. The results will contain records that match the criteria for all your keyword search terms.
  
  
• Quick Search List:. This feature gives you the ability to store your frequently typed search terms. Then with two clicks you can run the search again, all without typing - saving you a tremendous amount of time and retyping, especially when you are with a patient.
  
  
• List All: This button generates a sorted list of all Acupuncture points in your database, complete with a quick Navigational pad.
  
  


• Jump Feature: Say for example you list certain points for a certain treatment in your Diagnosis database - ex. St-25 is listed under 'Damp Heat in the Large Intestine' as a point for Draining Heat from the Intestines . Wouldn't it be nice to simply highlight a point in your treatment section and have AcuPoints Jump right to that point in the location page allowing you to quickly reference it? Well you can now, just highlight 'St-25' and JUMP to it.
  
  
  • TIP: Did you know that if you highlight ANY word in your Diagnosis database notes and Click the 'Jump' Button that Pocket AcuPoints will search all of your databases for a match? The Jump feature is not just limited to locating Points
    
    
• AcuTx: Create your own custom treatment protocols and save them for later reference. Choose which points you want to add and then decide if you are going to needle them with a Tonification or Sedation technique. Decide if you are want to needle the points on the Left, Right or Bilaterally. Want to add Moxa to the points? You can even share your AcuTx protocols with other users of AcuPoints! Imagine the uses:
  • You are sitting around the local coffee shop. You are thinking about what point protocol to use on your next patient, Bob Smith. You pull out your Pocket PC and begin browsing through your Points and adding them to your AcuTx Protocol list. Once satisfied, you save your AcuTx. Then when Bob arrives at your office you quickly browse your "Bob Smith - 12/01/04" AcuTx protocol and off you go.
  • You are browsing through "Acupuncture Today" and notice a treatment protocol you would like to try for the "Common Cold" - you have your Pocket PC handy so you quickly and easily enter the points into AcuTx and off you go.
  • You are at a seminar listening to a speaker describe great success by using certain points, you take good notes and then later create an AcuTx protocol based on the speakers experience. Ex. "Dr. Yang's Point Protocol for Occipital Headache"
  • etc, etc.
    



• Full-Featured Edit menu: Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Undo, Select All...
  
  
• ADDED BONUS! Now AcuPoints incorporates Zap Power-Off (ARM), so you can either exit AcuPoints or Turn Off your device, all from the Menu. Saving wear-and-tear on your Power Button.
