We measured radial arterial pulse signals using a prototype of a clip-type pulsimeter equipped with a
permanent magnet and a Hall device, which produced signals through a voltage-detecting circuit. The systolic peak time and the reflective peak time for a temporally pulsed signal were analyzed for an arbitrary pulse wave at one position of a small permanent magnet. The measured value of the peripheral pulse wave velocity was about 1.25-1.52 m/s, demonstrating the accuracy of this new method. To measure the peripheral blood flow velocity, we simultaneously connected the radial artery pulsimeter to a photoplethysmography meter. The average value of the peripheral blood flow velocity was about 0.27-0.50 m/s.
