This session will explore the exciting new trend toward designing smart medical devices that provide critical force feedback to eliminate guesswork, improve outcomes, and increase consistency. It will highlight how thin, flexible sensors have enhanced a wide range of medical device applications by providing force feedback and making products smart. In this presentation, attendees will learn: how tactile force sensors improve medical devices by making them smart through providing quantifiable data, how force sensing resistors, provide solutions to overcome both mechanical and electrical challenges in integrating force sensors into medical devices, and examples of product applications and how they have benefited from force sensing technology.
