      It is monitored that the pulse frequency before exercise is approximately 80 beats per minute, while the pulse frequency after exercise accelerates to around 110 beats per minute. We can further see from the locally enlarged view on the right of Fig. 4a that the PTHD clearly distinguishes the characteristic peaks of the pulse waveform, including percussion wave (P wave), tidal wave (T wave), and diastolic wave (D wave), which reflect human systolic/diastolic blood pressure, ventricular pressure, and heart rate respectively [42,43]. Compared with the three characteristic peaks displayed before exercise, the pulse waveform after exercise only presents P wave and D wave, which could be related to the variation of the heart or ventricular pump [44,45].

      Figure 5A plots the monitored pulse information under two situations, before (normal) and after exercise, by fixing the prepared PTES on a fingertip of a 25-year-old adult male. It is clearly seen that the pulse waveform before exercise is characterized by a frequency of about 66 times per minute and each pulse has three distinct peaks of percussion wave (P1), tidal wave (P2), and diastolic wave (P3), corresponding to systolic/diastolic blood pressure, ventricular pressure, and heart rate, respectively,56,57 as shown in the enlarged image on the right. After exercise, the beating frequency of the fingertip pulse is accelerated to 96 beats per minute and the beating intensity is conspicuously enhanced.
