| Research Abstract |
A simplified system for health screening from cardiovascular parameters obtained non-invasively in a finger using the volume-oscillometric technique was developed and its preliminary assessment was conducted. An automated instrument made simultaneous measurements of key cardiovascular parameters, including blood pressure, pulse pressure, heart rate, normalized pulse volume as an index of α-adrenalin-mediated sympathetic activity, and finger arterial elasticity. We tested a prototype instrument in healthy volunteers during day-to-day living, including a sleep deprivation as physiological challenge. In conclusion, the system we have developed has allowed the periodic collection of physiological data in a convenient and expeditious way without any failure, demonstratingthe possibility to detect an adverse effect on health. In addition to this study, blood alcohol measurement using the optical principle was investigated in order to reduce health- and alcohol-related motor vehicle accidents as novel vehicle safety-locks.
