MD+DI: Creating New Categories of Medical Devices with Force and Pressure Sensing

This article showcases how tactile sensing technology used in R&D or clinical research settings can essentially "Map the Path" to an innovative, first-of-its-kind medical device.

Like most modern electronic devices, small, smart, wearable (or implantable) medical devices are becoming much more common in the medical profession. As technology evolves, so have the methods design engineers use to develop medical devices that eliminate end-user guesswork and improve treatment methods.

Considering the important role that force- and pressure-feedback plays throughout the medical profession, tactile-sensing technology represents a sensor category that can lay the framework to enhance an R&D or clinical research process while being embedded as a component to differentiate a device.
