Noi Kanippaan: Nadi diagnosing system

Noi kanippaan - “finding any disease using nadi ” is an automated system to find the diseases and its related informations about the human body. This paper provides detailed information and reports on patients by obtaining their nadi as a time series. By reading the signals from the sensors, the analog signals are quantified by transmitters, amplifiers and a DC (digitizer). Our system acquires the data with 32-bit accuracy and practically minimizes the external noise. The readings sent to our Noi kanippaan programmatic application are received and plotted per unit time into (vata, pitta, kapha) pulse waveform graphs. Our application shows the probable disease results according to the pulse waveform and pressure applied at the sensing element per unit time. Hence our Indian Medicine Practitioners can use this system as automated computer-aided diagnostic tool. We have a lot of proven records in ancient literature [1] that there is not a single disease in the human body which cannot be diagnosed by examining the pulse. However, ancient medical practitioners had to totally rely upon years of clinical experience in order to come to any conclusive diagnosis. Clinicians today have limited examination of the pulse to its rate, rhythm and volume by virtue of which they hardly come to a concrete diagnosis based upon pulse alone. If there could be a system by which the radial pulse could be critically examined just like the ancient ayurvedic practitioners and others, it could be one of the most useful tools in the field of non-invasive modern medical diagnosis of disease. Our Noi Kanippaan read the signals of (Vata, Pitta and Kapha) in the three channels. Thus our system has potential to objectively measure and display the changes occurring in the radial artery in accordance with ancient principles without having to undergo subjective interpretations.
