A recent Medgadget article discussed a new wearable that aids in the recovery from a stroke. The device, created by MIT researchers (of course), is a fabric glove that can detect subtle pressure changes along its surface when the user grabs something.

This enables the glove to measure tactile pressure, the wearer’s pulse, and even vital signs more accurately than smart watches.
