| Abstract [eng] |
Radial pulse examination is one of the most im-portant diagnostic methods in traditional Chinese medi-cine. It has been used in establishing diseases and in guid-ing medicine selection for thousands of years. Blood flow fluctuation types present in radial artery contains rich and critical information which can reflect the state of various problems with health. Having precisely mastered the art of blood flow pulse practitioners can exactly determine what kind of health problems (i.e. problems with: gallbladder, kidneys, stomach, lungs, heart, high level of cholesterol and more) the patient has. Being non-invasive diagnostic technique this type of examination depends on the practi-tioner’s subjective analysis and may be unreliable and in-consistent. In this paper, we present novel computerized non-invasive micro-opto-electro-mechanical radial pulse signal analysis techniques strongly correlating with the valuable knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. First, the fluctuations of blood flow are registered by laser trian-gulation displacement sensor. Then, using computer based techniques the signal is filtered from possible noise. Possi-ble prototype model of final object is presented. Experi-ment results show that the proposed system works accu-rately and could be especially effective and helpful in am-bulance medicine because of its portability and manufac-turing price. |
