Most acupuncturists we've talked to share the same frustration: the software they use every day wasn't built for them.
Generic EHR platforms treat acupuncture like a footnote. TCM diagnostic fields are missing. Tongue and pulse documentation gets crammed into free-text boxes. Bilingual practitioners are left translating their clinical thinking on the fly, and the result is charts that don't fully capture what's actually happening in the treatment room.
We built Dx Chart because acupuncturists deserve better tools.
The Problem With Generic EHR
Here's what we kept hearing from practitioners during early conversations:
- "I spend more time on paperwork than patients." Manual SOAP note writing, re-entering the same data across multiple screens, and fighting with software that doesn't understand TCM workflows.
- "The software doesn't speak my language." Both literally (no Korean or Chinese input support) and clinically (no structured fields for Eight Principles, tongue diagnosis, or pulse qualities).
- "I'm paying for features I'll never use." Most EHR platforms are built for large multi-specialty clinics. Solo acupuncturists end up navigating complex interfaces designed for someone else.
- "Billing is a nightmare." ICD-10 codes for acupuncture are scattered across musculoskeletal, neurological, and symptom chapters. Picking the right code under time pressure leads to mistakes and denied claims.
These aren't edge cases. They're the daily reality for thousands of acupuncturists across the country.
What We're Building
Dx Chart is a patient charting platform designed from the ground up for acupuncture and TCM practices. Every feature exists because a practitioner told us they needed it.
TCM-native clinical fields. Over 100 input fields structured around how acupuncturists actually think — tongue body and coating qualities, pulse positions and characteristics, Eight Principles differentiation, meridian patterns, and point prescriptions. No more typing prose into generic text boxes.
AI-powered documentation. One click turns your clinical observations into complete SOAP notes, HPI narratives, and patient summaries. The AI understands TCM terminology and generates documentation that's both clinically accurate and insurance-ready.
Multilingual support. Document in Korean or Chinese and let AI translate to professional medical English. Your clinical thinking stays in the language you learned it in. Your charts meet English documentation requirements.
ICD-10 code suggestions. Based on your clinical findings, Dx Chart suggests the most appropriate diagnosis codes — saving you from memorizing code tables or looking them up mid-session.
HIPAA compliant from day one. Encrypted data, individual user accounts, audit logging, and signed Business Associate Agreements. Compliance shouldn't be an afterthought.
Who This Is For
Dx Chart is built for acupuncturists and TCM practitioners in the United States — from solo practitioners running a single-room clinic to multi-provider practices with front desk staff and billing teams.
If you've been getting by with paper charts, generic EHR software, or a patchwork of spreadsheets and templates, we think you'll notice the difference immediately.
What's Next
We're actively building and improving Dx Chart based on feedback from practitioners like you. If you'd like to see it in action or share what features matter most to your practice, we'd love to hear from you.
