We make "YOUR FUTURE"
Prototype of pulse wave meter
We measured pulse waves of silkworm and human using a phot reflector.
A pulse wave is an electrical signal that records the change in blood vessel volume
that occusr in the blood pumped from the heart.
In this prototype, we observed it usng a photo reflector.
A photo reflector is a sensor consisting of both an invisible infrared irradiator
and a diode ( receiver ) that detects reflected infrared.
By analyzing the pulse, it is possible to know the pulse rate, the blood oxygen saturation,
and the blood vessel age( flesibbility. )
that occusr in the blood pumped from the heart.
