在东方医学中，基于皮肤测量的体质诊断的有用性已经确立。然而，传统的诊断方法很难标准化。根据Sasang体质医学，人类可以根据皮肤的特性来区分，包括其质地，粗糙度，硬度和弹性。皮肤的弹性以前被用来区分Tae-eumin（TE）和Soeumin（SE）体质的人。本研究设计了一个系统，使用压缩的方法来测量手部皮肤的弹性，并评估其测量的重复性。所提出的系统被用来比较SE和TE受试者之间的皮肤弹性，其产生的测量重复性误差为
The usefulness of constitutional diagnoses based on skin measurements has been established in oriental medicine. However, it is very difficult to standardize traditional diagnosis methods. According to Sasang constitutional medicine, humans can be distinguished based on properties of the skin, including its texture, roughness, hardness and elasticity. The elasticity of the skin was previously used to distinguish between people with Tae-eumin (TE) and Soeumin (SE) constitutions. The present study designed a system that uses a compression method to measure the elasticity of hand skin and evaluated its measurement repeatability. The proposed system was used to compare the skin elasticity between SE and TE subjects, which produced a measurement repeatability error of
