Self-guided smartphone application for relaxing acupressure

"Relaxing Acupressure entails applying pressure with either a finger, pencil, or similar object to acupressure points. For the relaxing protocol, there is a total of 9 acupoints (1 unilateral and 4 bilateral). Each point will be stimulated for 3 minutes, yielding a total treatment time of 27 minutes each day. The acupoints are:~1. Yin Tang (Unilaterally): Located on the forehead, between the eyebrows.~2. Anmian (Right and Left/bilaterally): Located on the posterior aspect of the neck, in a slight depression along the bone directly behind the ear.~3. Heart 7 (HT7) (Right and Left/bilaterally): Located on the palmer surface of the hands on the wrist crease; in line with the pinky.~4. Spleen 6 (SP6) (Right and Left/bilaterally): Located on the inside of the lower leg, approximately 4 fingers width above the bone of the ankle.~5. Liver 3 (LIV3) (Right and Left/bilaterally): This point is located on the foot, near the big and second toes."
