- Abstract
- With the emergence of the metaverse and other human–computer interaction technologies, promising applications such as medical palpation training are growing for training and education purposes. Thus, the overarching goal of this study is to develop a portable and simple pulse pressure simulator that can reproduce age-specific pulse pressure waveforms for medical palpation training. For training applications, the simulator is required to produce accurate radial pulse waveforms
consistently and repeatedly. To this end, exploiting the cam-based pneumatic pulse generation mechanism, this study intends to develop a cylindrical (or 3D) cam whose continually varying surface contains a wide range of age-related pulse pressure profiles. To evaluate the performance of the simulator, the reproduced pulse waveforms were compared with approximate radial pulse pressure waveforms based on in vivo data in terms of the augmentation index (AI) and L2 error. The results
show that the errors were less than 10% for all ages, indicating that the proposed pulse simulator can reproduce the age-specific pulse waveforms equivalent to human radial pulse waveforms. The findings in this study suggest that the pulse simulator would be an excellent system for RAPP palpation training as it can reproduce a desired pulse accurately and consistently.
