Pulse type classification by varying contact pressure.
We introduced a new technique of quantification of pulse characteristics in connection with contact pressure. We provided data only for illustrative purposes, deferring statistical analysis of samples of a larger population. This quantification can be useful for diagnostic purposes; for example, by detecting changes of the three quantities according to the health condition or particular disease of a patient, or by analyzing correlations among these quantities and other physiological variables.
