Abstract EN
Conventionally, a pulse taking platform is based on a single sensor, which initiates a feasible method of quantitative pulse diagnosis.
The aim of this paper is to implement a pulse taking platform with a tactile array sensor.
Three-dimensional wrist pulse signals are constructed, and the length, width, ascending slope, and descending slope are defined following the surface of the wrist pulse.
And the pressure waveform of the wrist pulse obtained through proposed pulse-taking platform has the same performance as the single sensor.
Finally, the results of a paired samples t-test reveal that the repeatability of the proposal platform is consistent with clinical experience.
On the other hand, the results of ANOVA indicate that differences exist among different pulse taking depths, and this result is consistent with clinical experience in traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis (TCMPD).
Hence, the proposed pulse taking platform with an array sensor is feasible for quantification in TCMPD.
