Construction of check-up system via pulse wave measurement

Abstract

Recently, the pulse wave measurement method is paid to attention as a method by which the stiffening degree and the aging degree of the blood vessel can be easily analyzed. However, the checkup system is not so simple and it takes time to be operated and analyzed and also for the subject to get the final result. Therefore, in this article, mixed data of the pulse wave and check-up measurement are analyzed by SOM (Self-Organaizing Maps). Then, by the system, the check-up result will be estimated from the real time pulse wave measurement.
