Why it's different
A symptom, a pattern, a protocol, a point. All linked.
Most sites keep everything in separate silos. Here, whatever you look up in one place is linked to the rest. See it in action with a real case from the Atlas:
- 1What the patient reportsPoor appetite, bloating after meals, loose stools and fatigueSymptoms lead to the patterns that explain them.
- 2PatternSpleen Qi DeficiencySigns, tongue, pulse and the treatment principle it calls for.See it in the Atlas
- 3Vademecum protocolPi Qi XuPC6; Regulate the Center with ST36 and CV12; Spleen Back-Shu with BL20.See it in the Atlas
- 4PointST36 · Zú Sān Lǐ3 cun below ST35, one finger-breadth lateral to the anterior border of the tibia.See it in the Atlas
In the Clinic, the software walks that path for you: it cross-checks intake and Ryodoraku readings against patterns, proposes the formulary protocol, and the safety check flags contraindicated points before they're suggested.

Frequently asked questions
Good to know before you start.
What can I use for free?
Every point and meridian page in the Atlas, its search and the blog articles, with no sign-up. In the game, the entire first day.
Do I need a card to try the Clinic or Atlas Pro?
Yes, you enter it when you start, but nothing is charged until day 15. If you cancel before then from your profile, you pay nothing, and we email you before the first charge.
Do courses expire?
No. It's a one-time payment and access is for life. Every course also includes a year of Atlas Pro.
Can I cancel whenever I want?
Yes, from your account. You keep access until the end of the period you've already paid for.
What is the Clinic's founder price?
The first 50 monthly subscribers pay US$ 19 a month and keep that price at every renewal, even if the list price goes up, for as long as they stay subscribed. Spots are open from October 15 to December 25, or until they fill.
Who can see my patients' data?
Only you. Each practitioner sees only their own patients; no one else can open them, not even by typing in a URL by hand. Anything you print is marked confidential.
I'm a student with no practice. What suits me?
The Academy, which already includes a year of Atlas Pro. If you only want the study tools, Atlas Pro on its own.
