The medical professional’s “sense of touch” is something learned over time. Being shown how to apply manual therapy to a patient, or use a tool for a procedure, is one thing; having methods to quantify these actions will help medical professionals develop their sense of touch faster. One way to accomplish this is through the creation of smart, sensitive training devices that include embedded features to implement higher standards that cultivate better-trained professionals.
