Assisting an Aging Population: Designing Medical Devices with Force Sensing
  Technology
From: Tekscan

With the geriatric population on the rise, design engineers are challenged
with designing responsive, noninvasive, user-friendly medical devices that
cater to the needs of an older generation. Patients are looking for
cost-effective, easy to use assistive tools that help them regain
independence and confidence in their everyday life. Force feedback is a key
feature for many of these devices that provide the user and doctor with great
insight that ultimately results in better quality of life for the patient.
Medical devices with force feedback allow design engineers to create
innovative products that differentiate them from the competition.
