Objective Since the algorithms about the accelerated pulse point detection are rare, this paper proposes a series of processing algorithms, and especially focuses on a and c, the two key points. Methods After the pretreatments of a moving average method for preventing the impulse interference and wavelet filtering method, we take the combined method of difference threshold and wavelet modulus maxima arithmetic to detect the key point positions. Experimental data come from 60 groups of volume pulse waves of 15 students, and then are verified the dependability through the processing algorithms introduced in this paper. Results The correct rate of a and c points are above 92%. Conclusions This signal processing algorithms can realize the rapid and accurate detection for pulse wave propagation time measurement, and can provide certain technical support to the new medical equipment design.
