To develop an objective, quantitative measurement method for classifying arterial pulse characteristics in traditional Chinese medicine.
Applied incremental contact pressures to the skin over the pulse point using a custom detector loaded with 20 g, 0.5 cm² copper weights.
Measured arterial pulse amplitude as voltage output across varying steady-state contact pressures using an integrated transducer.
Demonstrated that measured pulse wave amplitude reaches a clear maximum dependent on the specific level of applied contact pressure.
Provided an experimental foundation for scientific pulse data classification, statistical analysis, and biophysical modeling.
