  Persian Medicine (PM) uses wrist temperature/humidity and pulse to determine
a person's health status and temperament. However, the diagnosis may depend on
the physician's interpretation, hindering the combination of PM with modern
medical methods. This study proposes a system for measuring pulse signals and
temperament detection based on PM. The system uses recorded thermal
distribution, a temperament questionnaire, and a customized pulse measurement
device. The collected data can be sent to a physician via a telecare system for
interpretation and prescription of medications. The system was clinically
implemented for patient care, assessed the temperaments of 34 participants, and
recorded thermal images of the wrist, back of the hand, and entire face. The
study suggests that a customized device for measuring pulse waves and other
criteria based on PM can be incorporated into a telemedicine system, reducing
the dependency on PM specialists for diagnosis.
