Patent Images
1. A diagnostic apparatus, comprising:
- database means for relationally storing data representative of a plurality of different living body disorder conditions and parameter data representative of a respective plurality of living body pulse waves, wherein relationships between said disorder conditions and said pulse waves are predetermined through an independent diagnosis of at least one first living body and measurement of respective pulse waves of said at least one first living body, said disorder conditions including at least one specific disorder condition of a living body organ other than a living body circulatory system; and
diagnosis means for receiving parameter data representative of multiple pulse waves measured from a plurality of locations on at least one living body subject to diagnosis and for matching said received parameter data with parameter data representing pulse waves in said database and for outputting a disorder condition related to said matched parameter data stored in said database.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a diagnosis apparatus for analyzing arterial pulse waves comprising a database 26 in which is stored data showing the relationship between data representing a pulse wave of a living body and teaching data representing conditions of the living body; and a micro-computer 21 for outputting teaching data corresponding to the pulse wave detected from the living body in the teaching data on the basis of the pulse wave detected from the living body and the stored data inside database 26. As a result, it becomes possible to perform diagnoses equivalent to a skilled doctor.
