Abstract

Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is the most popular index to assessment the arterial stiffness. Currently, several non-invasive examination methods with single channel for PWV are announced. This paper proposes a non-invasive digital volume pulse (DVP) measuring system using a dual channel simultaneous measurement method try to meet the demans for home healthcare equipment which is easy to operate. Through synchronal technical in measuring DVP signals from finger and toe can achieves more precise time and substantially reduces the time spend in measurement procedures. In the other side, the proposed system developed an algorithm to locate the "Foot of the wave" without facilitating of electrocardiogram (ECG).
