In a practical test of Applied Thai Therapeutic Massage for Thai traditional medicine students, they
have to perform finger pressure directly on any signal points of the body. The magnitude of force and the
duration of applying force are theoretically evaluated by the lecturer. Traditionally, the evaluation method is
based on the lecturerûs experience and observation individually. Thus, to clarify and standardize the evalua-
tion, we studied and designed a signal acupressure point testing set for Thai Therapeutic Massage. The FSR
(force sensing resistor) sensor was adopted for the force measuring device of finger pressure. The error
percentage was about 2.72 compared to the weighting scale. It was acceptable based on the lecturerûs point
of view for the practical use. Then, the developed testing set was evaluated by lecturers and students of
applied Thai traditional medicine program. It was found that the developed signal acupressure point testing set
enabled them to know the lever of their force and the duration of applying force through the wireless network
that were shown on the screen in the form of graph, number, and status signals.
