Hand Dexterity Training and Assessment Device

A hand dexterity training and assessment device is being developed to enhance digital therapeutics by providing scalable, reliable, and ergonomic rehabilitation for individuals with hand motor impairments, particularly those recovering from stroke. The device is engineered for sub-1 N force accuracy and emphasizes finger individuation, using three-axis force sensing. At its core, it incorporates low-noise force transducers to ensure consistent performance in both clinical and home settings, all with a portable, compact, and user-friendly form factor. By the detection of subtle movements, the device can also be used as a peripheral for multiplayer dexterity and cognitive games, introducing a gamified and engaging element to therapy, increasing patient motivation and adherence.
