The digital pulse diagnosis system has been developed on the basis of a systematic pulse diagnosis method. This study has applied the diagnosis algorithm to 60 patients at an oriental medicine hospital. The diagnosis algorithm had been developed on the basis of the pulse wave data acquired through the sensor of the system. The test examined the patients' pulse waves by the two methods of superficially and deeply checking them on the right and left wrists respectively. Since each method checked three parts of each wrist, which are Chon, Kwan, and Chuk, a total of 12 pulse waves were measured per patient. This study presents diagnosis parameters for clinical diagnoses by analyzing structural elements of pulse waveforms. As a result of having comparatively analyzed the result of 720 clinical data diagnosed by the digital pulse diagnosis system, developed by the study and the clinical results of oriental medicine doctors, the identical clinical opinion amounted to as much as 96.25%. The clinical application of the digital pulse diagnosis system developed by this study is of great significance in the sense that it heightened the objectivity and accuracy of the diagnosis. In the future, there should be continued research for establishing the pulse diagnosis database through incessant clinical tests.
