Seizing the opportunities of the times, moving towards a new era of digital intelligence of acupuncture and moxibustion.

This paper summarizes the historical background of the combination of acupuncture and moxibustion and digital intelligence technology, and its relevant studies in recent years. From three aspects, i.e. meridian points, acupuncture and moxibustion techniques and clinical research, the research status and landing scenarios of such combination, as well as its application value and development prospects were explored. It was found that in the development of digital intelligence of acupuncture and moxibustion, the acupuncture and moxibustion practitioners encountered the insufficient preparation in the coming career situation, the high-level research platforms were few, the cross-interdisciplinary talents were of the shortage, the quantity and quality of data were out of perfection and the study depth and breadth was limited. Focusing on these problems, and associating with the development and research status of the industry, it was attempt to give the analysis and suggestion. In the future, supported by digital intelligence technology to empower acupuncture research, the effect mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion can be explored in view of more dimensions and deeper levels, and more objective and higher-quality medical evidence can be generated. Eventually, the development of acupuncture and moxibustion industry can be boosted, the modernization of acupuncture and moxibustion and the internationalization of TCM be accelerated.
