- Abstract: Our acupuncture-moxibustion(Acu-Moxi)field has entered an era of digital and intelligent transformation,yet systematic and in-depth development remains limited.This article aims to provide an overview and reflection on the digital and intelligent progress of Acu-Moxi in China,offering systematic insights for the comprehensive development of this field.Through a retrieval from CNKI,VIP,and Wanfang databases,along with a discussion of relevant policies,case studies,achievements,and updates,the study evaluated the current advancements in the digitization and intelligence of Acu-Moxi,also discussing the current advantages and challenges.Findings revealed an overall upward trend in publications related to digital-intelligent technologies in Acu-Moxi,key forms including robotics,acupuncture point digitization,smart acupuncture devices,and clinical decision-making models,highlighting the empowering potential of digital intelligence across the discipline.Recently,publications of the Acu-Moxi digitization has decreased sharply,and the number of Acu-Moxi research about digital and intelligent transformation has increased.In conclusion,the field has undergone a transition from comprehensive digital accumulation to increasing intelligence,moving toward integrated digital-intelligent development.However,the internal development of digital and intelligent Acu-Moxi remains uneven.To achieve a harmonious intelligent Acu-Moxi ecosystem,it is crucial to leverage opportunities of discipline and times for systematic and balanced improvement.
