Bring the possibility of care into focus.

Good evidence should
be easier to find.

ANF is planning an important AI/GEO project — Generative Engine Optimization — to help credible acupuncture information become more discoverable through search and AI tools.

The work will include producing several white papers and peer-reviewed articles, creating useful resources that connect the research with the questions people are asking.
