Background: Pulse width, which can reflect , excess, and deficiency, has been used for diagnosing diseases and determining the prognosis in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). This study aimed to devise an objective method to measure the pulse width based on an array pulse diagram for objective diagnosis.

Methods: The channel 6, the region wherein the pulse wave signal is the strongest, is located in the middle of the pulse sensor array and at the position of during data collection.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on improving pulse diagnosis by using advanced sensor arrays that can capture multiple pulse parameters, unlike traditional single-pulse diagnostic tools that have limited data capability.
  • - The researchers developed methods to analyze these pulse wave signals, specifically applying these techniques in patients with hypertensive disorders by comparing the average pulse waves (APW) and their representative features across different subjects.
  • - Clinical trials revealed significant differences in various pulse parameters between healthy individuals and those with hypertension, indicating the potential for this technology in assessing and diagnosing hypertensive conditions.

Background: Fatigue is a common and subjective symptom, which is associated with many diseases and suboptimal health status. A reliable and evidence-based approach is lacking to distinguish disease fatigue and non-disease fatigue. This study aimed to establish a method for early differential diagnosis of fatigue, which can be used to distinguish disease fatigue from non-disease fatigue, and to investigate the feasibility of characterizing fatigue states in a view of tongue and pulse data analysis.

Fatigue is one of the most common subjective symptoms of abnormal health state, there is still no reliable and stable evaluation method to distinguish disease fatigue and non-disease fatigue. Studies have shown that tongue diagnosis and pulse diagnosis are the reflection of overall state of the body. This study aims to explore the distribution rules and correlation of data of tongue and pulse in population with disease fatigue and sub-health fatigue and provide a new method of clinical diagnosis of fatigue from the perspective of tongue diagnosis and pulse diagnosis.

Objective: To explore the data characteristics of tongue and pulse of non-small-cell lung cancer with Qi deficiency syndrome and Yin deficiency syndrome, establish syndrome classification model based on data of tongue and pulse by using machine learning methods, and evaluate the feasibility of syndrome classification based on data of tongue and pulse.

Methods: We collected tongue and pulse of non-small-cell lung cancer patients with Qi deficiency syndrome ( = 163), patients with Yin deficiency syndrome ( = 174), and healthy controls ( = 185) using intelligent tongue diagnosis analysis instrument and pulse diagnosis analysis instrument, respectively. We described the characteristics and examined the correlation of data of tongue and pulse.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disease. Although visceral hypersensitivity (VH) and disturbed gastrointestinal motility are typical pathophysiological features of IBS, the pathological mechanisms underlying this disease remain unclear. Serotonin system abnormalities are considered to play an important role in the pathomechanisms of IBS.

Background: Fatigue is a kind of non-specific symptom, which occurs widely in sub-health and various diseases. It is closely related to people's physical and mental health. Due to the lack of objective diagnostic criteria, it is often neglected in clinical diagnosis, especially in the early stage of disease.

Background: Diabetics has become a serious public health burden in China. Multiple complications appear with the progression of diabetics pose a serious threat to the quality of human life and health. We can prevent the progression of prediabetics to diabetics and delay the progression to diabetics by early identification of diabetics and prediabetics and timely intervention, which have positive significance for improving public health.

Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gut disease characterized by visceral hypersensitivity and gut motor dysfunction. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is an important enteric neurotransmitter. High levels of 5-HT aggravate IBS symptoms.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common functional bowel disorders (FBD), which is characterized by recurrent abdominal pain, abdominal bloating/distention associated with defecation or changed bowel habits. Currently, there is no evidence of obvious anatomic or physiologic abnormalities on the routine diagnostic examinations. There are multiple pathological factors involved in IBS responsible for its heterogeneous nature, although the exact etiology and pathology of IBS are not well known and it is disappointed to develop biomarkers for this disorder.
