For example, in the early days of AcuGraph one of the primary objections I encountered went something like this:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cWhy should I use a MACHINE for diagnosis?

Whether it\u2019s qi balance in the 12 channels, or microscopic ear points, electronic tools have sensitivity to things we can\u2019t otherwise perceive.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><b>Objective Evidence: <\/b>Though powerful and useful, the tradition diagnosis methods are also subjective. They can be more of an overall impression formed from lots of minor clues, rather than a definitive, repeatable measurement. Technology improves that overall patient picture by providing evidence through direct measurement of electrical parameters.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><b>Additional Information: <\/b>The first two items on this list contribute directly to a more fulsome picture of the patient, and therefore a better diagnosis. You\u2019re only as good as the information you have, so more information is better.<br \/>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><b>Visual Proof: <\/b>There\u2019s simply no substitute for being able to SHOW the patient what\u2019s wrong.

With hundreds of individual points packed into a network in the ear, a precision finder is a must.
