中文摘要：

脉象信息的定量描述是脉诊客观化研究的必经之路,为此,各种脉象采集设备应运而生,脉象采集设备的研发大大推动了脉诊客观化进程,然而目前的研究在临床应用中仍然存在着不足。为了使得脉象采集设备能真正的为临床服务,通过对中医脉象采集设备研究及市场化产品等的论述,分析了脉象采集设备研究存在的不足之处,探讨了运用单一或者几个特征指标来描述脉象信息还远远不够,只有基于中医系统、辨证两大基本理论,遵循＂位、数、形、势＂脉诊纲要,结合不同的信息采集手段,从多角度、多层面对信息进行挖掘,才能进一步促进脉诊客观化研究。

英文摘要：

Quantitative description of pulse information is the only way which must be passed of pulse diagnosis objectivity research,therefore,various pulse acquisition equipments emerge as the times require. The research and development of pulse acquisition equipments has greatly promoted the process of pulse diagnosis objectivity,while the current research in the clinical application is still insufficient. In order to make pulse acquisition equipments really provide clinical services,the author discusses research on TCM pulse acquisition equipments and the related market products,analyzes the deficiencies of this research,points out that the use of single or several indicators to describe the pulse information is not enough; only based on TCM system and syndrome differentiation treatment,following the outline of pulse diagnosis including ＂ the position,number,shape,potential tendency＂,combining with different information acquisition means,,mining information from the multi angles and levels,the objective research on pulse diagnosis can be really further promoted.
