RADIX WikiRADIX Wiki

Overview

AcuiQ is a privacy-first Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) protocol matcher. Users enter symptoms anonymously and receive acupuncture treatment protocols matched from published case studies — no login, no accounts, and, per the site's own description, no stored user data (acuiq.com/llms.txt).

The platform maps symptoms to protocols by fuzzy matching against a database the project describes as 7,000+ symptoms, 400+ acupoints across 14 meridians, and 200+ treatment protocols derived from case studies. Acupoint entries carry muscular, dermal and skeletal views with cun measurement overlays. The public site exposes four browse surfaces — Symptoms, Meridians, Treatments and an Atlas — plus a Research index.

It carries a standing medical disclaimer: the site states it provides educational information about acupoints and self-treatment techniques, is not medical advice, and that users should consult qualified healthcare professionals before starting any treatment.

Products

Hot Spots™ Press Needles — $19.99

Tiny (~1.5mm) acupuncture needles on 3M backing tape, worn discreetly for extended periods. Safe for home use and designed for the press-needle protocols recommended by AcuiQ. Sold via Stripe checkout.

Self-Treatment Guide — $12.99 (digital download)

Comprehensive guide to self-acupuncture using press needles. Covers technique, safety, the cun measurement system, and protocol application for common conditions. Over 108 acupoint illustrations, 6.8MB PDF.

Both products are available directly from symptom and protocol pages on acuiq.com.

Research Output

Alongside the matcher, AcuiQ publishes findings from its own extraction pipeline about the state of the acupuncture literature, at acuiq.com/research. An example is "TF4 Is Not a Point", which documents that acupuncture point codes are published without a namespace, so a code written under one standard and read under another resolves to a different location.

This dataset-first posture — treating the corpus itself as the object of study rather than only as a lookup table — is what places the project in the decentralised science category rather than the consumer-health one.

Relationship to Radix

AcuiQ is listed in this directory as a project of a Radix-ecosystem team, not as a deployed Radix application. As of July 2026 it runs entirely on conventional web infrastructure: there is no Radix component, no token, and no wallet integration, and the public site does not reference Radix or blockchain anywhere.

The structural affinity is with the category rather than the current build. An anonymous, non-custodial health-knowledge service maps onto Radix's asset-oriented model in the same way other DeSci datasets do — attestation of a curated corpus, community curation of contributions, and access tiers expressed as badges rather than accounts. None of that is built; it is noted here to explain the listing, not to describe shipped functionality.
