Cost effective finger motion sensor attachment for clinical assessment
- Field
- Medical Devices
- Patent
- IP00672
Key Problem and Market Opportunity
- There is no cost effective measures to measure the motion of each finger simultaneously
- Existing sensor gloves mainly target for clinical assessment focus on hand movement only, rather than finger movement.
- Sensor used to measure finger motion are often too heavy, thus interferes the motion of the user.
- Sensor gloves cannot be used by persons with different sized hand, incorrect fit may gives inaccurate results.
