Medical+Training+Haptic+Device

Haptic technology, or haptics, is a tactile feedback technology that takes advantage of a user's sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or motions to the user. This mechanical stimulation may be used to assist in the creation of virtual objects and the enhancement of the remote control for machines and devices. It has been described as "doing for the sense of touch what computer graphics does for vision". Various haptic interfaces for medical simulation may prove especially useful for training of minimally invasive procedures and remote surgery using teleoperators. A particular advantage of this type of work is that the surgeon can perform many more operations of a similar type, and with less fatigue. Research indicates that haptic interfaces are a significant teaching aid in palpatory diagnosis (detection of medical problems via touch).
