Key result
An automated equipment for traditional Iranian medicine pulse detection achieved an accuracy of 76% for period measuring and 72% for systolic peak detection.
A novel automated system for traditional Iranian medicine pulse detection demonstrated moderate accuracy for period and systolic peak measurement.
May support automated traditional pulse tools; leaves open clinical validation and integration.
Arterial pulse measurement is one of the most important methods for evaluation of healthy conditions. In traditional Iranian medicine (TIM), physician may detect radial pulse by holding four fingers on the patient's wrist. By using this method, under standard condition, the detected pulses are subjective and erroneous, in case of weak and/or abnormal pulses, the ambiguity of diagnosis may rise. In this paper, we present an equipment which is designed and implemented for automation of traditional pulse detection method. By this novel system, the developed noninvasive diagnostic method and database based on the TIM are way forward to apply traditional medicine and diagnose patients with present technology. The accuracy for period measuring is 76% and systolic peak is 72%.
