Abstract:
Pulse signals can serve as important indicators of one's cardiovascular condition. However, capturing signals with stable morphology using radar under varying measurement periods remains a significant challenge. This paper reports a non-contact arterial pulse measurement method based on mmWave radar, with stable signals achieved through a range-angle focusing algorithm. A total of six subjects participated in the experiment, and the results showed that, under different measurement times, the pulse morphology of the same body part for each subject had good consistency, reaching a correlation of over 0.84, and four selected pulse signs remained stable. This is a quantitative assessment revealing a high correlation in pulse morphology measured by radar over different periods. In addition, the influence of array size and measurement distance was analyzed, providing a reference of array selection for research work with different requirements. This work offers an effective reference framework for long-term pulse measurement using radar technology.

01:30Equipments Used To Measure Blood Pressure
This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...

The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.

The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
