AcuiQ

Overview

AcuiQ is a privacy-first Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) protocol matcher. Users enter symptoms anonymously and receive evidence-based acupuncture treatment protocols matched from thousands of real-world case studies. No login required. No data stored. 100% anonymous.

The platform maps symptoms to protocols using fuzzy matching against a database of 7,637 symptoms, 575 curated acupoints across 14 meridians, and 1,035 treatment protocols derived from peer-reviewed TCM case studies. Acupoint images include muscular, dermal, and skeletal views with cun measurement overlays.

DeSci Connection

AcuiQ is part of the broader DeSci (Decentralised Science) ecosystem — applying open, privacy-preserving infrastructure to traditional medicine knowledge. While currently built on conventional web infrastructure, it represents a category of health data application well-suited to Radix's asset-oriented model and privacy capabilities.

The AcuiQ dataset — 7,637 symptoms, 1,035 protocols, 6,156 treatments, 1,167 acupoint images — is an underexploited open health knowledge base with potential for on-chain attestation, community curation, and tokenised access tiers.
