Abstract :
To reproduce radial artery pulse wave, electronic simulator was developed. The microprocessor regenerates arterial pulse waveform based on the measured human arterial pulse data. The radial artery pulse wave could be generated from magnetic force using a linear motor. It was also confirmed that developed pulse simulator generated adaptive amplitude depend on the applied pressure on the surface of actuator. It is also necessary to update and extend pulse wave database for many cases and symptoms.
