Abstract :
Radial Pulse Analysis, a non-invasive diagnostic tool, is often used by practicing physicians trained in the system of Traditional Indian Medicine (TIM) - Ayurveda. We explore a unique method of sensing the radial pulse using capacitive sensors. Signals thus obtained compare well with those expected. Pulse signal have been analyzed for situations ranging from apparently trivial in nature to those aimed at exploring and estimating blood sugar levels. Further studies can help establish pointers which address the strict `do´s & don´t´ rules laid out by TIM practitioners.
