Brief Summary

Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of disease diagnosis applications by pulse diagnosis. The pulse "position", "number", "shape", and "momentum" can be used as four guidelines for pulse classification. However, the finger feeling is difficult to be expressed in a quantitative approach for clinical teaching and illness-state recognition. The pressure sensor was applied to measure wrist pulse waveforms for analysis. In this research project, the "discrete wavelet transformation (DWT)" is used to decompose the time-domain pulse into several sets of signals, which are allocated at different frequency bands. The high-frequency signal over the range of 12-50 Hz is then acquired to calculate the spectral energy ratio (SER) for quantization of the pulse momentum to the persons under the suboptimal health status (SHS).

Conditions

Suboptimal Health Status

Keywords

discrete wavelet transformation, Pulse diagnosis in TCM

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pulse diagnosis data analysis

  Palpation of the 6 pulse positions (right cun, right guan, right chi, left cun, left guan, left chi) measured by the pulse diagnostic instrument are read into the processing program, and then the time domain signal of each pulse position is analyzed in sequence .

  1 day

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Suboptimal health status questionnaires

  1 day

Study Arms (2)

Health Status

normal examination in recent six months and not fit inclusion criteria of suboptimal health status.

Suboptimal health Status

(A) Sub-Health Questionnaire (SHSQ-25) ≧35 points (B) Resting blood pressure 120-139/80-89 mmHg measured more than 3 times a week (C) The PSQI score of the sleep questionnaire on the first test is greater than 5 points (D) Body mass index (BMI): 24\~29 Kg/m2

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 20 Years - 70 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Participants have no chronic disease or those who have been diagnosed as Sub-optimal health status by a doctor.

You may qualify if:

• A+B+C or A+B+D that meet the following description, and those who have no clear diagnosis of chronic diseases by western medicine, can be included:
• (A) Sub-Health Questionnaire (SHSQ-25) ≧35 points (B) Resting blood pressure 120-139/80-89 mmHg measured more than 3 times a week (C) The PSQI score of the sleep questionnaire on the first test is greater than 5 points (D) Body mass index (BMI): 24\~29 Kg/m2
