Abstract

This paper describes a design of transducer for non-invasively detecting pressure radial pulse wave in aterial system and a recording system that for the studing the aterial pulse diagnosis of korean traditional medicine. The mechanism of transducer is composed of sensing mechanism, pressure sensor, conditioning amplifier. The variation of radial pulse pressure in the sensing mechanism is converted to the electric signal by piezo-resistive pressure sensor and it converted to the digital signal after preprocessing via A/D converter. The converted signals inputed to the computer as data files and then it display to the monitor for waveform watching and this datas can be used as the aterial pulse diagnosis data. This system effectively detect non-differential radial pulse wave and we conside that if analizing the recorded radial pulse wave, compared each other, it can be helpful in quantify radial pulse wave diagonosis of the Korean traditional medicine.
