AI summary

A capacitive accelerometer device is provided, and includes a capacitive accelerometer module, a display device and a signal line. The capacitive accelerometer module includes one or more capacitive accelerometers for sensing an arterial acceleration pulse wave of a user. The display device includes a displayer and a speaker. The displayer is used to display the arterial acceleration pulse wave of the user. The speaker emits an audible signal according to a change value of the arterial acceleration pulse wave. The display device electrically connects to the capacitive accelerometer module via the signal line. The display device automatically senses the arterial acceleration pulse wave of the user and correspondingly generates the change value. The display device generates a prompt signal when the change value is equal to or larger than a predetermined value.
