Review of Qpuncture II By British Medical Accupuncture Society

The former version of this software was reviewed in January 2001 as ' Acupuncture Made Simple ' - I was impressed by the clever use of multimedia with animated 3D graphics. This version (QP2) contains a number of significant improvements.

I was unable to load the program onto my AMD Athlon 1.33MHz computer because of a clash between my existing Nero CD-burning program and the QP2 security cdkey system. Although the installation program copies most of the CD into a folder of 521mB, you cannot run the QP2 program without the QP2 CD in the disk drive. Installation on my Celeron 600 laptop did work although it took 15 minutes to copy all the files over, but at least entering the long serial number did work without program conflict. The accompanying user's guide is very brief at 15 pages, but the program is so intuitive and easy to navigate, that it is hardly necessary, and there is no help facility once the program is running. The opening screen shows a handsome acupuncture needle graphic, and the navigation title bar has the following labels: File (to exit the program), Principle (covering fundamental concepts of oriental medicine, tongue (100 pictures) and pulse diagnosis (28 pulses), needling techniques (rather scant), and measuring methods), Acupuncture (Channel theory and meridian description, detailed descriptions of 361 acupuncture points-see below), Pain Clinic (covering clinical descriptions in Western terms of a number of illnesses, with a TCM interpretation with suggested points for treatment). Auriculotherapy is a new addition to the program showing the ear points superimposed over graphics of the representative body parts within the ear (Nogier would be very proud!). Again, the anatomy of point location is complemented by clinical disorders with suggested treatment points for a wide variety of conditions (86). The Herb section is also new, with 800 pictures of 200 herbs, and in the same style which correlates the herbs to clinical applications.

Navigation is very simple and allows you to jump from topic to topic, using any menu. The 200 3D animations are delightful, showing where the needle is placed for most points. The 2D graphics for each point shows the clear location with an option to highlight the surface, muscle, bone, artery and nerve relationships to that point. At anytime it is possible to print out the screen information. To complete the easy navigation there is a search function. Entering "fatigue" returned a list of over 50 pages where the word was displayed highlighted in green.

This edition allows the program to be minimised, so that you can keep it running in the background whilst other tasks are carried out.

There were only a few dislikes about the program. The initial security checks (copy protection) are over the top, and increase the chances of program malfunction. The title "pain clinic" is a misnomer, and should be labelled just "clinic". If your sound is enabled, you will quickly tire of the "boap" sound each time you click over an acupuncture point. The 3D animations last only 5 seconds, and it is difficult at times to see how far the needle penetrates the skin. There is very little reference, as in the previous edition, to Western acupuncture such as trigger points or segmental theory. This software is very much for Traditional acupuncturists.

QP2 is a significant advance over "Acupuncture made simple" in terms of increased content, stylish displays, and no-nonsense navigation. A version aimed at Scientific, Western or Medical acupuncturists, detailing trigger points, segmental approaches, neuropharmacology and functional MRI scanning, would be very welcome.
