Dotheal – Smart Self-Recovery with Traditional Wisdom
Dotheal is a groundbreaking self-managed recovery system inspired by the Traditional Chinese Medicine press-needle technique. Designed to address athletes’ challenges of long recovery times, therapist dependency, and localized treatment, it combines a hygienic single-use therapeutic needle with an AI-powered mobile app.
The app’s acupoint recognition technology precisely identifies treatment points, guiding users through gentle vibration cues for accurate placement. It delivers personalized recovery plans, tracks progress in real time, and adapts recommendations for optimal results.
Blending Eastern healing heritage with modern innovation, Dotheal makes safe, effective recovery accessible anytime, anywhere. Its ergonomic design and disposable needle ensure both ease of use and hygiene, empowering athletes to take control of their rehabilitation without professional supervision.
With the philosophy of “Place the needle precisely, keep recovery in your hands,” Dotheal redefines sports recovery — merging cultural wisdom with technology for global, portable, and user-centered healing.
