Frontier Applications Research for Next-Generation Cardiovascular Health Monitoring Chip Design.

Medical devices provide an innovative approach to clinical diagnostics by utilizing a wide range of physical, chemical, and biological sensors to collect real-time physiological information non-invasively. These devices leverage signals such as photoplethysmography (PPG), electrocardiography (ECG), wrist pressure pulse, and radial pressure pulse to capture essential body physiological data. The development of next-generation cardiovascular health monitoring chips represents a breakthrough in diagnostics, enabling simultaneous and continuous measurement of various physical parameters and biomarkers. This transformative technology has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by allowing for high-resolution, real-time monitoring and the retrospective analysis of an individual's health status over time. In this review, we delve into the cutting-edge applications of these advanced technologies. These applications include measuring arterial stiffness, assessing endothelial dysfunction, evaluating autonomic nervous system dysfunction, employing pulse diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and assessing the effectiveness of therapies or supplements. Additionally, we analyze the current trends in the field and propose application-oriented study designs that can shape the future trajectory of cardiovascular health monitoring systems.
