Exploring the conventional pulse conditions using bi-sensing pulse diagnosis instrument

Abstract

Pulse diagnosis is one of the efficient techniques to detect the health status of a patient. However, pulse diagnosis suffers from a viewpoint of nonscientific and subjectivity. The goal of this report wants to propose an outline to integrate both the quantification of pulse diagnosis and application of clinic. Hence, the definitions of the quantifiable parameter are followed by clinical experiences. These core parameters are classified into four categories: position, rate and rhythm, shape, and trend. Using Bi-Sensing Pulse Diagnosis Instrument (BSPDI) to acquire wrist artery information for interpreting pulse conditions. The DS (Depth-Strength) curve can be classified the pulse condition whether it belongs to floating pulse or sunken pulse; and similarly, DR (Depth-Rate-Rhythm) curve to rapid pulse or slow pulse, DW (Depth-Width) curve to fine pulse or large pulse, DL (Depth-Length) curve to long pulse or short pulse. The pulse conditions will be understood based on these curves and pulse diagnosis is no more subjectivity and nonscientific.
