Ayurvedic Pulse Diagnostic Techniques to Develop Modern Noninvasive Disease Diagnostic Devices

Abstract

Ayurvedic medicine is an oriental deep medical science based on the unique concept of the tridosha, namely Vata, Pitta, Kapha. According to the Ayurvedic medicine, Vedic medical science is disease diagnosis by pulse analysis. However, the diagnosis is subjective and the accuracy depends on the experience and practice of the Ayurvidic practitioner. Thus, researches can be carried out to find solutions for subjective errors and increase the accuracy. Some of the currently conducted researches show optimistic results where the results of Ayurvedic practitioner’s diagnosis and the results gives from the electronic device tally with each other. Subsequently, non-invasive diagnostic devices can be developed with the help of modern electronics and mathematical algorithms with reduced cost and time for the diagnosis. Moreover, it might become a good approach to protect the declining valuable techniques of Ayurvedic medicine.
