Pulse wave response characteristics for thickness and hardness of the cover layer in pulse sensors to measure radial artery pulse

Abstract Background Piezo-resistive pressure sensors are widely used for measuring pulse waves of the radial artery. Pulse sensors are generally fabricated with a cover layer because pressure sensors without a cover layer are fragile when they come into direct contact with the skin near the radial a...
