Modern researches on pulse waveform of TCPD

This article presents modern research on traditional Chinese pulse diagnosis (TCPD) by means of some modern signal processing methods. In order to demystify TCPD and prove its efficiency, its significance is first briefly described. A survey of recent developments in TCPD is provided. Some modern advanced signal processing methods are applied to the analysis of the pulse waveform and some experimental results are also illustrated. Furthermore, our pulse acquisition diagnosis system is introduced. Finally, the emphases and future works are also pointed out.
