Deyee STONE Moxibustion DY-S1

The Deyee STONE Moxibustion DY-S1 brings robotic automation to traditional moxibustion therapy, combining a 6-axis bionic robotic arm with AI vision algorithms that identify acupoints and deliver treatment with consistent precision. Developed by Deyee Healthcare Robot, this system represents an approach to scaling TCM-based therapy while maintaining the precise positioning and movement patterns that characterize effective moxibustion treatment.

Product Overview

Moxibustion involves burning dried mugwort (moxa) near specific acupoints to stimulate circulation and promote healing—a practice with thousands of years of history in traditional Chinese medicine. The DY-S1 automates this therapy by combining intelligent acupoint identification with robotic arm control that replicates the movement patterns used by experienced practitioners.

The system addresses practical challenges that limit moxibustion therapy expansion: the need for trained practitioners, the labor-intensive nature of individual treatments, and concerns about smoke exposure in clinical environments. By automating positioning and integrating smokeless designs, the DY-S1 aims to make moxibustion therapy more accessible while maintaining therapeutic intent.

Key Features

6-Axis Bionic Robotic Arm: The arm structure mimics human hand flexibility with six degrees of freedom, enabling the detailed movements required for effective moxibustion delivery. The design supports pressure control and positioning adjustments that respond to individual body contours.

Intelligent Acupoint Recognition: AI vision algorithms analyze body positioning to identify meridians and locate acupoints automatically. This capability reduces the expertise barrier for basic moxibustion applications while maintaining positioning accuracy comparable to trained practitioners.

Five Classical Moxibustion Techniques: The system replicates traditional techniques including:

• Hovering (悬灸): Maintaining fixed distance over acupoint
• Reciprocating (雀啄灸): Bird-pecking up-and-down movement
• Gyratory (回旋灸): Circular rotation patterns
• Meridian-following (循经灸): Movement along meridian pathways
• Combined techniques for multi-method treatment protocols

Smokeless Design with Integrated Ventilation: A specialized flue system and smoke purification technology retain the aromatic and therapeutic properties of moxibustion while removing excess smoke. This addresses a significant barrier to moxibustion adoption in enclosed clinical environments.

Intelligent Temperature Control: Real-time temperature monitoring and adjustment prevent overheating while maintaining optimal therapeutic temperatures. High-precision distance control provides an additional safety layer.

Technical Specifications

At the core of the DY-S1 is a 6-axis bionic arm with AI vision acupoint recognition, automatic ignition, real-time temperature monitoring, integrated smoke purification, and DEYEE Health Cloud connectivity.

Clinical Applications

The DY-S1 supports moxibustion therapy across several clinical scenarios:

Pain Management: Traditional moxibustion applications for chronic pain conditions including back pain, joint discomfort, and musculoskeletal disorders. The warming effect promotes circulation and is believed to reduce stagnation associated with pain in TCM theory.

Women’s Health: Protocols targeting conditions traditionally treated with moxibustion including menstrual discomfort, postpartum recovery, and reproductive health support.

Digestive Support: Treatment of acupoints associated with gastrointestinal function, addressing conditions like poor digestion, bloating, and related discomfort.

General Wellness: Preventive health applications focused on circulation enhancement, immune support, and overall vitality improvement.

Rehabilitation Support: Complementary therapy alongside conventional rehabilitation protocols, particularly for conditions where improved circulation and tissue healing are therapeutic goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the DY-S1 identify acupoints?

The system uses AI vision algorithms that analyze body contours, identify anatomical landmarks, and locate meridians based on established TCM mapping. The technology combines deep learning for pattern recognition with machine vision for precise spatial positioning, enabling automatic acupoint identification without manual input.

Is the DY-S1 truly smokeless?

The DY-S1 features a smokeless design with integrated flue systems and purification technology that captures and filters smoke during operation. While the system uses actual moxa materials to retain therapeutic properties, the smoke management system significantly reduces ambient smoke exposure, making it suitable for enclosed clinical environments.

Can the robot adjust treatment for different body types?

Yes, the AI vision system adapts to individual body contours and sizes, recalculating acupoint positions based on the specific anatomy of each patient. The 6-axis robotic arm provides the flexibility needed to accommodate different body positions and treatment areas.

What training is required to operate the DY-S1?

While detailed training requirements vary, the automated acupoint recognition and pre-programmed treatment protocols reduce the expertise needed for basic operation compared to traditional moxibustion. Practitioners can select treatment programs and monitor sessions without requiring extensive TCM training, though understanding of treatment indications and patient assessment remains important.
