Abstract

The Ayurvedic philosophy says that everything in our Universe can also be found in the human body which can be examined. For examination, there are eightfold technique; in this paper, the authors have studied Nadi Pariksha or Pulse diagnosis or pulse examination. Nadi Pariksha is the science of observing the pulse for diagnosis of the subconscious and human body. The wrist pulse signal is known to examine the health status of a person. Indian Medical Science uses the wrist pulse to predict the emotional and physical status of an individual. In Pulse Examination, the palpation of adjoining three points of radial artery is sensed with the help of three fingers namely ring, middle and index finger. This palpation gives the sensation of energies (doshas) in terms of Vata, Pitta and Kapha which are accumulatively known as bio-elements (Tridosha). A human being has a network of nerves and sensory organs that perceive the physical world around them. In this paper, the authors have developed a diagnostic system for the analysis of the effect of gender on the wrist pulse. The diagnostic system consists of various steps namely data acquisition using pulse sensors that have been interfaced with the microcontroller, signal pre-processing using MATLAB and detection of pulses. The detection of different pulses leads to the diagnosis of different diseases.
