Abstract
This paper describes a new system that detects radial pulse wave and allows the diagnosis of malfunctions of cardiovascular system by analyzing the waveforms with the newly proposed algorithm. The system consists of a sensor part and a data processing part within which a new detection algorithm is incorporated In acquiring radial pulse signal noninvasively, the sensor used in this system is a new combinational fiber-optic sensor which has a detecting Part and a transmitting Part. Also, In order to analyze the characteristics of pulsation quantitatively, the algorithm proposed in this paper is a method that runs in parallel with both the data of ECG and differential pulse simultaneously. these concepts are based upon the idea that thfee Q points of ECG give obious discrimination of one entire period of pulse in any abnormal cases, and newly defined feature lines at the differential counterpart can be used to recogrlize sDme significant points in one period of pulses.
