Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will explore recent advancements in arterial pulse measurement technologies, with a particular focus on innovations in sensor design, signal processing, and their clinical applications. Arterial pulse measurements play a pivotal role in assessing cardiovascular health, and the development of advanced, non-invasive sensors has revolutionized this field. Innovations such as wearable sensors, including photoplethysmography (PPG) devices, tactile sensors, and accelerometers, have significantly enhanced the ability to monitor pulse waveforms in real-time with greater accuracy and portability.
Equally crucial are advancements in signal processing techniques. Machine learning algorithms, wavelet analysis, and time-frequency methods are enabling the extraction of more precise features from pulse signals, allowing for the early detection of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, and arrhythmias. These signal processing techniques also contribute to the development of predictive models for cardiovascular risk, offering valuable insights for personalized healthcare.
Moreover, the integration of these technologies into consumer-friendly devices opens new possibilities for continuous health monitoring, making it easier for individuals to track and manage their cardiovascular health. This Special Issue will bring together cutting-edge research that highlights both the technological advancements and the promising clinical applications, underscoring the transformative impact of arterial pulse measurement on early disease detection and health management.
