Overview

Should not yet inform clinical stress assessment; leaves open whether meridian harmonics add value beyond exploratory correlations.

Structured PICO

Can pulse spectrum analysis of finger-tip photoplethysmography quantify accumulated mental stress according to the meridians of Traditional Chinese Medicine?

P
Population
Participants undergoing an 8-day experiment
I
Intervention
Daily mental arithmetic tasks over 1 week to simulate stress accumulation
O
Outcome
Trends in the proportion of the nine harmonics of Traditional Chinese Medicine extracted from pulse spectrum analysis of finger-tip photoplethysmographysurrogate

Pulse spectrum analysis of the photoplethysmography signal may provide physiologically relevant information on accumulated mental stress based on Traditional Chinese Medicine meridian theory.
