Developments and prospects of flexible array sensor for pulse diagnostic apparatus

Pulse taking is one of the most important diagnostic methods in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It has been a long time since pulse taking was taken into studies. In this paper, we start with the introduction of the TCM pulse diagnostic apparatus. According to the application and requirement of the apparatus, we describe the characteristics and usage of the flexible array pressure sensor. We then review the current situation of its development at home and abroad. Finally, we analyze the advantages and defects of flexible array pressure sensor using in the pulse diagnostic apparatus and give some prospects.
