Abstract

In this paper, we devised volume pulse detection system which can quantitatively represent a artery elasticity for oriental clinic. Volume pulse wave detecter system consist of transducer which has IRLED-photodiode detecter, temperature sensor and filter and preprocessing circuits, data conversion and serial communication parts, and computer system. The high-pass filter are detect volume pulse wave and lowpass filter detect tissue thickness. The detected volume pulse wave are normalized by tissue thickness value with a division process. As the result of experiment, we can detect normalized volume pulse wave with effectively.
