Abstract: This paper proposes a novel wearable wireless-sensing
technology on a glove to measure the bio-potentials and impedances of
acupunctures on a whole palm in a non-invasive manner. Moreover, the device
can transmit the information to a remote cloud server to learn at normal
condition, and take measurement later for health condition analysis and
monitoring. An example is given how to measure the acupuncture impedances
and bio-potentials on a palm. One can see if certain acupuncture's impedance
or bio-potential is not follow the Ohm's law or voltage divider rule along a
meridian, then the health condition of the corresponding organ maybe with
some problem. This discovery is not found in the previous literatures.
