Abstract

With the view to set up the oriental pulse database as well as objective diagnosis standards, this study has designed and manufactured a digital pulse diagnosis system that uses a high-performance microprocessor on the basis of systematic pulse diagnosis methodology. The algorithm for extracting significant points has been proposed to precisely interpret the pulse signals that have various kinds of noises, and pulse measurement tests were conducted on many patients at a hospital. Much of the clinical data attained by the digital pulse diagnosis system has been compared with the clinical findings made by the doctors in charge of patients. As a result of this comparison and analysis, the study has found out that the two findings showed almost identical opinions. On this basis, an objective diagnostic parameter clinical diagnosis has been presented.
