Abstract
Background: This research presents the use of photoplethsmography combined withTraditional Tibetan Pulse reading for the estimation of the three energies of a person: Activity, Transformation and Stability. The three energies derive from the four elements which are knownfrom antiquity, both East and West, which considered life and the cosmos as an inseparable whole. Therefore the three energies composing the human functions are a reflection of our life as well as thecosmos. Method: Our work is presented in two studies. The first study presents the developmentof the technique of photoplethsmography to classify the three energies. The second study presentsa validation of this methodology on mental stress and relaxation. Results: Energies classificationachieved a sensitivity above 85% and specificity above 86%. Mental stress and relaxation could besignificantly discriminated from baseline condition. Harmonic analysis gave further insights into the dynamic of the pulse wave under stress/relaxation. Conclusion: The photoplethsmogram contains information pertaining to the mental and physiological state of a person as interpreted with the Eastern energies concepts. The implication of this work points towards a holistic understanding andimpact of human activities, health and its environment.
