Measurement Notes: HRV, Impedance, Elastography
A guide to the objective proxies used in VEA assessment.
Practice Measurement
Research Resources
Read the core documents that translate acupuncture into measurable, systems-medicine language.
If you are new to VEA, begin with Operational Definitions to learn the vocabulary, then move to Mechanism Chain for the causal model, and Measurement Notes for the clinical signals we track. These resources are written for practitioners, researchers, and curious patients who want a clearer explanation of how the framework links inputs, outputs, and observable change over time.
