Abstract:
This paper describes how to develop a practical new type of atherosclerosis detection device, which can realize real-time measurement and analysis of human atherosclerosis. According to the mechanism of human atherosclerosis, the design objectives of the system are formulated to determine the construction of the platform. The system calculates the pulse wave velocity by measuring the pulse wave of human fingers and toes, adds four blood pressure measurements to the system design, calculates the ankle-brachial index, and comprehensively measures and analyses the degree of human arteriosclerosis.
