Production of wearable arterial stiffness measurement system using green LED

Abstract

Routine health care is necessary to prevent lifestyle-related diseases that have a high proportion as death cause of the Japanese. At present, the use of plethysmogram as a means of health care is noticed. And the plethysmogram can measure arteriosclerosis which is the cause of lifestyle-related disease. However, the measurement of arterial stiffness has a problem that the measurement cannot be carried out unless it goes to a specialized medical institution, and the time and action are restricted during measurement. The conventional plethysmogram measurement is performed using red light, but in recent years, it is noticed that the plethysmogram measurement of green light is better. In order to solve these problems, we will manufacture a wearable arterial stiffness measurement system using green LEDs.
