Pulse Signal Acquisition Using Multi-sensors

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Computational Pulse Signal Analysis

Abstract

In this chapter, we integrate a pressure sensor with a photoelectric sensor to make a fusion sensor which can acquire the pulse from different approaches. We designed the multichannel sensor arrays structure and introduced the pulse analysis algorithm and classification methods. Experiments on disease classification are carried out to test the system performance with multichannel and different sensor arrays. The results show that the novel system is not only able to distinguish between healthy pulse samples and subjects suffering from diabetes but also good at obtaining more information than the conventional pulse system with single channel or simplex-type sensor.
