FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to health monitoring devices. In particular the present invention relates to a device capable of measuring physiological parameters of the body by reading pulse wave patterns and giving a personalized prognosis of the health condition.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Ayurveda is a traditional holistic healing system based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a dynamic balance between the mind, body, and environment. "Nadi parikshan" is pulse diagnosis based on principles of Ayurveda. It js believes that the function of entire human body is governed by three humors: Vata, Pitta and Kapha, collectively called as Tridosha. The equilibrium of these three doshas maintains the proper functioning of every aspect of physiology. Any imbalance in the proportion causes a disorder. The imbalance causes the vessels carrying the blood to contract or expand with respect to its normal position. This contraction/expansion of vessels results in modulation of blood flow, which is called as Nadi. In brief, Nadi dictates the mode of blood circulation, which no doubt is governed by the physiological state of the individual. This makes Nadi-Nidan [meaning diagnosing a disease by sensing the blood flow] as a first step and in most cases the

only diagnostic tool for patient diagnosis, according to Ayurveda.
[0003] Traditionally in pulse diagnosis, the pulses are sensed by the fingertips, which actually measure the pressure exerted by the artery; It requires great experience and knowledge. It is also very subjective and differs from person to person. Several attempts have been to provide a device that can measure the pulse and connect the data to a diseased condition.
Prior Art
Various prior art patents on Health Monitoring Device: [0004] WO2017208261A1 relates to a device to sense the pulse on a wrist of a subject and to arrive at the health status of the said subject by capturing the pulse in real time; analyzing the pulse based on time-frequency properties of the pulse signal and Vata, Pitta and Kaphahumors of the subject. The device reliably detects and captures noise free pulse characteristics of a subject at the appropriate locations of the subject's wrist with minimal positional error in a user friendly way with minimal reliance on the expertise of the person measuring the pulses. The device facilitates the analysis of the pulses and provides a comprehensive diagnostic system based on the pulse characteristics, visual features, responses of a subject to structured queries to arrive at the tridosha levels in a subject. It is a device that sensitively senses and measures the pulse of a subject, analyses the pulses, and correlate them with health indices of the said subject. But it not user friendly and efficient.

It is also not capable of forewarning about potential health risks and giving a prognosis.
[0005] The devices available for analysing pulse "nadi" are complicated, inconvenient and uneconomical. They are also not capable of giving a prognosis of the health condition and suggesting ways to improve the health with respect to food, lifestyle and yoga.
[0006] Due to the deficiencies in the existing systems, the present invention realized that there exists a need to develop a system based on Ayurveda, which would overcome all these problems. Hence it was thought desirable to have a system, which can give Nadi pulses as a time-series data and yet simple to use. In the present disclosure all the limitations have been removed, hence the waveforms obtained from the present embodiment are used for diagnosis based on quantitative information. Further, all the major types and subtypes of the Nadi pulses have been identified, which supports the accuracy of the waveforms obtainable from the present disclosure.

[0039] The wrist band is operationally coupled a mobile and/or web application. The device is capable of doing prognostics and diagnostic examinations based on principles of Ayurveda "Nadi Parikshan". The device diagnoses physical as well as mental imbalances on the basis of pulse pattern. The device reads "Nadi" pulse in very less time duration, preferably less than 2 minutes.
[0040] The Ayurvedic knowledge of pulse pattern reading has been extracted and incorporated in the device. Pulse diagnosis can diagnose complete body and mind just on the basis of pulse pattern. The device/band detects pulse from specific point(s) in a human body and matches it with pre-defined

pattern of pulse as per Ayurveda or patterns extracted from clinical trials over large number of patient suffering from similar disorders (particular disease). The device redefines the pulse pattern for different diseases and uses it for suggesting a prognosis.
[0041] The device reads vascular movement from the wrist of a subject using photonics in NIR/IR and correlates it with vatta, pitta and kapha of "Nadi parikshan" in Ayurveda. There are different patterns for different diseases in Ayurveda. This knowledge is used to develop machine learning algorithms for plurality of disorders. These algorithms are applied on the pulse patterns for giving disease prognosis and predicting health conditions. The device also suggests ways to improve health condition in terms of food, lifestyle and yoga as per nature and need of the body.
