Abstract - Pulse detection is ancient diagnosis technique
emerged in India. It is procured from Ayurveda. In this technique wrist pulse analysis is used for recognition of health issues. Now days, this method is not in use. This ancient technique can be used with modern telecommunication technologies to provide health care at distance. In this paper, we are focusing on use of former pulse detection technique to provide remote consultation. This project is composed of device for pulse detection and system which can be accessed by doctors and patients remotely. Key Words: Pulse detection, telemedicine, vatta, pitta ,kapha Fig. 1. Positions indicating vatta, pitta, kapha.
1.INTRODUCTION
The waveforms of vatta, pitta and kapha can be distinguished by their movement, vatta wave resembles to cobra movement, pitta wave resembles to frog movement, kapha wave resembles to swan movement [1].
The knowledge contained in Ayurveda deals with the nature, scope and purpose of life. It embraces both the metaphysical and physical, health and disease, happiness and sorrow, pain and pleasure. Three doshas determine individual constitution and govern functions of the body in normal conditions and, when out of balance, they contribute to the disease process[2]. There are three kinds of nadi or pulses vatta, pitta and kapha. The nadi’s are named according to their functionalities and behaviour. Vatta, pitta and kapha move in the whole body producing good or ill effects upon the entire system according to the normal and provoked states. Pulse detection can precisely diagnose mental and physical imbalances. It reaches to the source cause of health diseases. Diseases like hypertension, diabetes, infertility, obesity, mental disorders, paralysis can be detected using this pulse detection. At some point three different types of patterns are perceived that correspond to the level and tendency of vatta, pitta and kapha respectively.
Fig.2. Shapes of waveform of vatta, pitta, kapha The vatta, pitta and kapha pulses are examined at particular positions on the wrist of the patients. Vatta on index finger, pitta on middle finger and kapha on ring finger.
