(Phys.org)—An effort by two engineers and a medical student has resulted in a second glove prototype designed so that doctors can use it as enhanced data. The idea is to enable doctors to quantify touch, said Elishai Ezra, a graduate in engineering and one of the glove creators. The inventors now operate with their own company, Med Sensation. Their sensor-laden glove can perform physical examinations that can help doctors serving patients or even directly support self administering patients to find out more about their health.
