This Glove Helps Patients Recover From Strokes

MIT researchers developed a glove that measures small changes in pressure to help the wearer fine tune motor function.

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 is made possible by tiny sensors threaded throughout the glove that contain micro pillars that alter the electrical signal when they are morphed. This enables the glove to measure tactile pressure, the wearer’s pulse, and even vital signs more accurately than smart watches.
