Application of Wearable Sensors in the Treatment of Cervical Spondylosis Radiculopathy with Acupuncture

Abstract

Research shows that cervical spondylosis radiculopathy (CSR) is the most common type of cervical spondylosis in clinic, and Chinese medicine treatment has obvious advantages, among which acupuncture therapy has received increasing attention. CSR has the characteristics of high incidence, long treatment time, and easy recurrence after treatment. In order to meet the different needs of different patients, this paper uses wearable sensors to collect patient dynamic data, extracts the action features of cervical spondylosis to design a scoring system, analyzes the input feature scores through a convolutional neural network (CNN) model, and then outputs personalized acupuncture treatment plan. The development status of wearable sensors at home and abroad is introduced, and the modules and functions of the wearable sensors are designed. The CNN network is used as the network model for classification and recognition. The experimental results show that the CNN model used in this paper has a high classification accuracy, achieving an accuracy of up to 97%, and can help produce an effective treatment plan. In order to determine whether the treatment plan output by the model is effective, each group of data is handed over to two cervical spondylosis experts for scoring, and then the final treatment plan is determined from 10 acupuncture plans. In our experiments, 9 out of 10 plans generated by the CNN model were the same as generated by the experts, which shows the effectiveness of the model.
