Abstract
Electronic pulse feeling device for assisting the medical practitioner in making a diagnosis in oriental medicine by visually depicting wave forms of various different human vascular pulses. The waveforms which are produced may then be interpreted by a medical practitioner and compared to the descriptions of pulses in the old books of oriental medicine, thereby assisting the practitioner in learning the general location of the affliction and assisting the practitioner in reaching a diagnosis.
Claims1
Pulse feeling apparatus for use in aiding a medical practitioner in making a diagnosis in the practice of oriental medicine, comprising in combination:
- four microphone means each producing electrical signals corresponding to human vascular pulses;
- means for restricting blood flow and for positioning a first of said microphone means inside the arm at the elbow whereby said first of said microphone means produces a first electrical signal representing the frequency of the vascular pulse at the location of said restricted blood flow,
- means for positioning a second, third, and fourth of said microphone means on the arm at three preselected locations,
- amplifier means connected to receive said electrical signals from said microphone means for producing amplified signals therefrom,
- graphical representation means connected to be driven by said amplified signals from said amplifier means corresponding to said second, third, and fourth microphone means electrical signals, and
- count display means connected to be driven by said amplified signal from said amplifier means corresponding to the signal produced by said first microphone means representing the pulse rate whereby the pulse rate is communicated to said medical practitioner.
