About
Alice Yeuk Lan Leung is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of biomedical engineering and traditional medicine, specializing in tactile sensing, robotic palpation, and arterial pulse diagnostics. Her most notable contribution is the development of sphygmopalpation using tactile robotic fingers, which systematically reveals fundamental arterial pulse patterns—a technique rooted in ancient Chinese medical diagnostics dating back to the Han Dynasty. This work, published in 2022 and garnering 11 citations, bridges millennia-old clinical wisdom with modern robotics, offering a reproducible, quantitative method for identifying at least 28 fundamental pulse patterns traditionally recognized by Chinese medicine practitioners. Leung’s research has profound implications for non-invasive, low-cost diagnostic tools, potentially revolutionizing early disease detection and personalized healthcare. Her achievements highlight a unique fusion of cultural heritage and cutting-edge technology, positioning her as a leader in tactile sensing applications for medical diagnostics. For students and researchers, Leung’s work exemplifies how interdisciplinary approaches can unlock new frontiers in healthcare, making her a compelling figure in the emerging field of robotic-assisted traditional medicine.
