Abstract EN
This article is a comprehensive review of recent studies of the authors on the indication of mental health from biological information contained in pulse waves.
A series of studies discovered that the largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE) of the attractor, which is constructed for the time series data from pulse waves, can provide as an effective indicator of mental health.
A low level of LLE indicates insufficiency of external adaptability, which is characteristic of dementia and depression sufferers.
On the contrary, a continuous high level of LLE indicates excessive external adaptability, and people in this condition tend to resort to violence.
With this discovery, real-time display of the LLE, combined with other physiological indexes such as the autonomic nerve balance (ANB), sample entropy, and vascular age, as a reference, can enable people to conduct self-check of mental status.
To this end, software development was performed in order to enable users to conduct pulse wave measurement anywhere at any time and display the analytical results in real time during the measurement.
