요골동맥의 움직임에 따라 손목의 "관" 위치에 놓인 영구자석이 요동함으로 자기장의 변화를 생성하였다. 맥동에 의존하는 자기장을 감지하는 홀소자가 구비된 집게형맥진기의 출력신호인 맥진파형 특성을 분석하였다. 유한요소법으로 전산모사한 자기장 파형과 실제 맥진 파형의 시간 특징점들은 거의 일치하였다. 한 개의 원통 소형 영구자석의 자기장 분포의 변화를 감지하는 홀소자 집게형맥진기 시뮬레이터를 제작하여 재현성과 유효성 있는 한방진단기기로 활용하는 기틀을 마련하였다.

10개의 다중 홀(Hall)소자를 이용하여 요골동맥에 놓여진 영구자석의 위치 변화에 따른 전압의 변화를 전기적 신호로 얻었다.전기적 신호는 맥의 파형 신호를 의미하며 이들을 다시 회로의 하드웨어를 통해 신호들을 미분하여 자장의 변화 신호만 얻었다.소프트웨어를 통해 위치 변화에 따른 자장 변화의 크기에 따라 그 형태를 3차원 영상을 얻어 착용형 맥진기로서의 개발 가능성을 보여주었다.

한방병원에 건강검진을 목적으로 내원한 732명의 피험자를 대상으로 사상체질감별설문지 검사를 통하여 한의사가 감별한 사상체질 결과와 맥진기를 사용하여 촌, 관, 척 부위의 요골 맥파를 측정한 자료를 입수하였다. 입수한 맥파 자료로부터 맥파의 폭, 피크의 크기와 개수를 특징 변수로 추출했다. 특징 변수들 중 타당도와 신뢰도가 높은 것들을 판별변수로 선정했다. 5겹 교차 검증법을 적용하여, 맥파 자료를 사상체질을 알려주는 훈련 표본과 사상체질을 알려주지 않는 예측 표본으로 구분했다. 훈련 표본에 대해서 판별분석을 수행하여 판별 함수를 구한 후, 이것을 예측 표본에 적용하여 사상체질을 예측했다. 예측한 사상체질과 설문지 검사로 알고 있는 사상체질을 비교하여 사상체질 분류 정확도를 계산했다. 사상체질 분류 정확도는 나이별, 성별 보정 전에는 태음인: 73.6 %, 소음인: 68.4 %, 소양인: 74.2 %이었으며, 전체 분류 정확도는 72.5 %이었다. 한국 인구를 기반으로 한 성별, 나이별 가중치를 적용하여 보정을 한 후의 사상체질 분류 정확도는 태음인(70.4 %), 소음인(84.2 %), 소양인(67.7 %)이었으며, 전체 분류 정확도는 73.8 %이었다.

The compliance and stiffness of artery are closely related with disease of arteries. Pulse wave velocity(PWV) in the blood vessel is a basic and common parameter in the hemodynamics of blood pressure and blood flow wave traveling in arteries because the PWV is affected directly by the conditions of blood vessels. However, there is no standardized method to measure the PWV and it is difficult to measure. The conventional PWV measurement has being done by manual calculation of the pulse wave transmission time between coronary arterial proximal and distal points on a strip chart on which the pulse wave and ECG signal are recorded. In this study, a pressure sensor consisting of strain gauges is used to measure the blood pressure of arteries in invasive method and regular ECG electrodes are used to record the ECG signal. The R-peak point of ECG is extracted by using a reference level and time windowing technique and the ascending starting point of blood pressure is determined by using differentiation of the blood pressure signal and time windowing technique. The algorithm proposed in this study, which can measure PWV automatically, shows robust and good results in the extraction of feature points and calculation of PWV.

A pressure sensor in pulse measurement system is a core component for precisely measuring the pulse waveform of radial artery. A pulse sensor signal that measures the pulse wave in contact with the skin is affected by the temperature difference between the ambient temperature and skin surface. In this study, we found experimentally that the signal changes of the pressure sensors and a temperature sensor were caused by the temperature of the wrist surface while the pressure sensor was contacted on the skin surface for measuring pulse wave. To observe the signal change of the pulse sensor caused by temperature increase on sensor surface, Peltier device that can be kept at a set temperature was used. As the temperature of Peltier device was kept at $35^{\circ}C$ (the maximum wrist temperature), the device was put on the pulse sensor surface. The temperature and pressure signals were obtained simultaneously from a temperature sensor and six pressure sensors embedded in the pulse sensor. As a result of signal analysis, the sensor pressure was decreased during temperature increase of pulse sensor surface. In addition, the signal difference ratio of pressure and temperature sensors with respect to thickness of cover layer in pulse sensor was increased exponentially. Therefore, the signal of pressure sensor was modified by the compensation equation derived by the temperature sensor signal. We suggested that the thickness of cover layer in pulse sensor should be designed considering the skin surface temperature.

Objectives: For the traditional pulse diagnosis in Oriental Medicine, not only the pulse shape in time domain, but the width, length and depth of arterial pulse also should be measured. However, conventional pulse diagnostic systems have failed to measure the spatial parameters of the arterial pulse e.g. effective length of arterial pulse in the wrist. In fact, there are many ways to measure that kind of spatial features in arterial pulsation, but among them, the method using image sensor provides relatively cheap and simple way, therefore I tested feasibility of measuring 2-dimensional pressure distribution by imaging devices. Methods: Using widely used PC cameras and dotted balloons, the subtle oscillation of skin over the radial artery was recorded continuously, and then the displacement of every dot was calculated. Consequently, the time course of that displacements shows arterial pulse wave. Results: By the proposed method I could get pressure distribution map with 30Hz sampling rate, 21steps quantization resolution, and approximately 1mm spatial resolution. With reduced quantization resolution, $3cm{\times}4cm$ view angle could be achieved. Conclusion: Although this method has some limitations, it would be useful method for detecting 2-dimensional features of arterial pulse, and accordingly, this method provides a novel way to detect 'narrow pulse', 'wide pulse', 'long pulse', 'short pulse', and their derivatives.

Object : The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation of atherosclerosis risk factors and pulse wave velocity (PWV) of carotid-femoral artery with Sasang constitution. This study also aimed to investigate the relationship between PWV and risk factors of atherosclerosis, including serum cholesterol and homosisteine, hs-CRP. Methods : We enrolled 160 patients without experience strokes who visited our hospital for a medical examination from January 1, 2008 to April 30, 2010 except patients whose body constitutions were undetermined according to QSCCII. We investigated the correlation between serum cholesterol values, blood pressure, body mass index(BMI), homosistein, hs-CRP and PWV. Pearson's correlation and partial correlation analysis were applied to examine the relationship between PWV and risk factors of atherosclerosis. Result : Among the 160 subjects, 54 were Taeumin, 54 were Soyangin, and 52 were Soeumin. The prevalences of high BMI (P-value <0.01), high hs-CRP(P-value <0.05), and high PWV(P-value <0.05) of Taeumin were higher than those of the other constitutions. PWV of carotid-femoral artery was significantly different among the three constitutional groups(Taeumin: $8.12{\pm}1.64m/sec$, Soyangin: $7.48{\pm}1.16m/sec$, Soeumin: $7.49{\pm}1.12m/sec$)(P-value <0.05). This research has show a statistical significance between the average amount of carotid-femoral artery PWV that is higher in Taeumin. Age factor of Taeumin was the effective determinant of the increase of mean PWV of carotid-femoral arteries. Conclusions : There were significant differences in the prevalence of atherosclerosis according to Sasang constitution. This study showed that atherosclerosis was more prevalent in Taeumin. Therefore, according to our results, risk of atherosclerosis was higher in Taeumin than among other constitutions.

In this paper, we implement the photoplethysmo-graphy system that have three channel pulse wave detects and one channel ECG amplifier. In order to detect the artery state, we measured the pulse waves at different positions, simultaneously. In general, arterial vascular system suffers the decrease of compliance, increase of resistance, and decrease of distensibility through aging. Therefore, we compared and analyzed variation of tile Pulse waves parameter both in time and frequency domains that is concerned with the changes of arterial characteries. And then evaluated the correlation coefficients between the parameters variation and the age group. As the result of experiment, we found that the Parameters have a significant correlation about aging.

In this paper, we have proposed and demonstrated a tonometry sensor array for measuring arterial pulse pressure. A sensor module consists of 7 piezoresistive pressure sensor array. Wire-bonded connection was provided between silicon chip and lead frame. PDMS(poly-dimethylsiloxane) was coated on the sensor array to protect fragile sensor while faithfully transmitting the pressure of radial artery to the sensor. Tonometric pulse pressure can be measured by this packaged sensor array that provides the pressure value versus the output voltage.
