Abstract

Advances in wireless microelectronics and low-cost sensor manufacturing have led to a variety of wearable technologies, with many wearable devices today being used for monitoring health and wellness. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a relatively unexplored area of interest as a type of ‘alternative medicine’. In this paper, we evaluated the suitability of a prototype system based on a 3-sensor array of 3 MEMS barometers for TCM pulse-taking applications: this included characterization of the sensitivity, thermal, and temporal response and its effectiveness in measuring pressure waveforms in a physiologic simulation with a graded-pressure fluid flowing through in an artery-mimicking phantom. Our results demonstrated that the prototype was adequate for such applications and confirmed the optimal specifications for the sensor casting rubber (5.7 mm thick) and design.
MEMS压力传感器阵列可穿戴中医脉测
无线微电子技术和低成本传感器制造的进步导致了各种可穿戴技术的出现,如今许多可穿戴设备被用于监测健康状况。作为一种“替代医学”,传统中医(TCM)是一个相对未被探索的领域。在本文中,我们评估了基于3个MEMS气压计的3传感器阵列的原型系统在中医脉搏测量应用中的适用性:这包括灵敏度、热响应和时间响应的表征,以及它在模拟动脉的模拟中测量压力波形的有效性。我们的研究结果表明,该原型适合此类应用,并确认了传感器铸造橡胶(5.7毫米厚)和设计的最佳规格。
