Abstract :
The article deals with the investigation of pulse wave propagation in arteries. A part of work involves also design and realization of devices serving for scanning of pulse wave by reflective photoplethysmography. Microcontroller with integrated A/D converter is used for conversion from analog to digital signal. Within the work graphic user interface is designed for data processing and evaluation of pulse wave parameters.
