ACcU
Accurate Acupressure
Work-based stress levels are rising and leading to increased numbers of productive days being lost.
ACcU is developing a smart, screen-based stress-busting system that that combines ancient Chinese acupressure techniques with advanced computer vision technology. By evaluating the user’s own facial features to identify and communicate acupressure points, it guides the user, in real-time with specific, localised massage and acupressure techniques.
ACuU was founded by JianBo Zhao, a 2019 Graduate of the RCA's Global Innovation Design MA Programme.
