A portable pulse signal acquiring and monitoring system based on Android platform

As pulse can reflect states of the circulatory system and internal organs, pulse diagnosis plays an important role in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This paper proposes an intelligent system to detect the pulse signal and display it on Android smart phone. It uses the Android Bluetooth API to achieve basic operations on the phone terminal and transmits data via the Socket connection. Android smart phone receives the data and draws real-time images of the pulse waveform on the screen.
