Description
Xixi Wei and Chao Niu review how artificial intelligence could make acupuncture safer across the whole care pathway. Their 2026 review grants that acupuncture is broadly safe and well tolerated, yet lists its real accidents: bleeding, collapsed lung, nerve and vessel injury, infection, and needles left behind. Safety today rests on the practitioner's experience and manual watchfulness.
The authors survey AI tools for spotting risk before treatment, assisting during it, and monitoring after, feeding a loop of continuous quality improvement. Individual anatomy and shifting procedural risk are exactly what fixed checklists miss. The review argues that intelligent systems could personalize that vigilance.
