The aim of this report is to propose standard pulse taking procedure of Traditional Chinese Medicine Pulse Diagnosis. In order to acquire full information from taking a wrist pulse, this proposal adopts a tactile sensor with 12 sensing points at one sensing position, such as Cun, Guan, or Chi. Simultaneously Palpation (SP) and Pressing with One Finger (PWOF) are adopted to explore their differences of the detected pulse signals. According to vertical dynamic characteristics, the results of a Pearson product moment reveal that the correlation coefficients of PWOF and SP are highly correlated from Fu to Chen. In addition, according to unique characteristics of body state, the results of a paired samples t test reveal that the SP and PWOF are indifferent at a specific pulse taking depth. Hence, if using the pulse-taking instrument with tactile sensors, it is concluded that pulse signals taken by familiar SP and PWOF methods are shown in statistical indifferences among seven parameters (Vppmean,Vppmax, HR, LENGTH, WIDTH, AS, and DS).
本报告旨在提出中医脉诊的标准脉象采集程序。为了从腕部脉象采集获取全面信息，本方案采用在一个传感位置上具有 12 个传感点的触觉传感器，如寸、关或尺。同时采用指法触诊（SP）和单指按压（PWOF）来探究它们在探测到的脉象信号方面的差异。根据垂直动态特征，皮尔逊积矩相关系数的结果显示，从浮到沉，PWOF 和 SP 的相关系数高度相关。此外，根据独特的身体状态特征，配对样本 t 检验的结果显示，在特定的脉象采集深度下，SP 和 PWOF 是无差异的。因此，如果使用具有触觉传感器的脉象采集仪器，可以得出结论，熟悉的 SP 和 PWOF 方法采集的脉象信号在七个参数（Vppmean、Vppmax、HR、LENGTH、WIDTH、AS 和 DS）中表现出统计学上的无差异。
