In recent years, mobile healthcare has received increasing attention. As the wrist-pulse diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) only needs the wrist pulse information of a patient, without any other physiological data and invasive checking, it is a promising technique for mobile healthcare in terms of cost and convenience. But the pulse-based diagnosis requires the sophisticated and long-term training of the physicians. So it is urgent to develop a digitalized method to objectify and standardize the pulse-based diagnosis process. In this paper we design a wrist-pulse sensing and analyzing prototype system which involves a general pulse-sensing device and a cirrhosis diagnosis scheme based on the captured pulse information. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the proposed system reaches to 87.09% in cirrhosis identification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
