A device and method is provided for the detection of diabetes in a person using pulse palpation signals. The pulse palpation signal is captured from the radial artery of the person using a photo-plethysmograph (PPG) sensor. The PPG signal is then preprocessed by a processor. The preprocessed PPG signal is then analyzed by the processor to detect the peak in the PPG signal. The detected peaks are used to extract a first set of feature parameters. The first of feature parameters are compared with a second set of feature parameters, wherein the second set of feature parameters are extracted from the control group of individuals. Based on the comparison it is detected that the person is one of in normal condition, pre-diabetic condition or a diabetic condition. According to another embodiment, the invention also provides a method to determine the severity index and progression risk of diabetes in the person.

A system that assesses health condition by measuring pulse includes: a pulse measuring device that measures an artery of a user who receives assessment of health condition; a terminal that has a function that transmits measured-value data on pulse measured by the pulse measuring device to a health assessing administrator and receives information from the health assessing administrator; an administrative server that is administered by the health assessing administrator, analyzes the measured-value data transmitted from the terminal, and stores various data on health condition that is necessary to assess and analyze health condition. The user transmits the measured-value data on measured pulse from the terminal to the health assessing administrator, and the health assessing administrator transmits assessment information on health condition analyzed by the administrative server to the terminal.

A method is provided for a novel application of trigger point dry needling. A target tissue is identified based on the observation of a series of movement patterns performed by the patient. Once identified, a needle movement protocol is used to insert a needle into the target tissue to a myofascial trigger point during one or more movement patterns. The needle protocol is adjusted until a local twitch response is induced.

A method for determining a sharpness index of a pulse wave signal according to an embodiment comprises the steps of: receiving a pulse wave signal; determining a first reference line starting point and a second reference line starting point on the basis of a curvature of the pulse wave signal; determining a first reference line connecting the first reference line starting point and a first reference line ending point by determining the first reference line ending point by applying an intersecting tangent method to the first reference line starting point, and determining a second reference line connecting the second reference line starting point and a second reference line ending point by determining the second reference line ending point by applying the intersecting tangent method to the second reference line starting point; and determining a sharpness index by using a peak point of the pulse wave signal, the first reference line, and the second reference line.

A palpation assisting apparatus includes a synchronization controller configured to synchronize a timing of acquiring pressure data output from a pressure sensor attached to a position in contact with a lesion part with a timing of acquiring positional information of a marker attached to a position corresponding to the pressure sensor, and an entering part configured to store, in a storage part, the pressure data and the positional information of the marker that are acquired at the synchronized timing in association with time information indicating a time at which the pressure data and the positional information are acquired.

One variation of a method for addressing psychological conditions of a patient through guided meditation includes: serving a first psychological test to the patient through a virtual patient portal; transforming results of the first psychological test into a set of psychological conditions of the patient; matching a first predefined meditation path to the patient based on a severity of each psychological condition in the set of psychological conditions; serving a first guided meditation track in the first meditation path to the patient through the virtual patient portal; serving a second psychological test to the patient through the virtual patient portal; calculating new intensities of each psychological condition in the set of psychological conditions of the patient based on results of the second psychological test; and matching a second predefined meditation path to the patient based on the new intensities of each psychological condition in the set of psychological conditions.

A method and an apparatus for pulse signal analyzing are provided. The method includes: receiving a pulse signal; decomposing the pulse signal into a plurality of characteristics signal; generating a spectrum for each of the plurality of characteristics signal by using a spectrum projection; obtaining a plurality of quantized data for each of the plurality of characteristics signal by quantizing the spectrum corresponding to each of the plurality of characteristics signal; and determining a physiological condition corresponding to the pulse signal according to the plurality of quantized data of the plurality of characteristics signal.

A state assessment system, a diagnosis and treatment system and a method for operating the diagnosis and treatment system are disclosed. An oscillator model converts a physiological signal of a subject into a defined feature image. A classification model analyzes state information of the subject based on the feature image. An analysis model outputs a treatment suggestion for the subject based on the state information of the subject. An AR projection device projects acupoint positions of a human body onto the subject, for the subject to be treated based on the treatment suggestion.

A method measures intolerances in a subject to various factors, such as food, beverage, metals and minerals, nutrients, and environmental factors using a testing machine that measures bioresonance, radionics, and/or quantum response.
