A Review of Haptic Technology Applications in Healthcare

Abstract: Regaining lost abilities via the formation of new neural pathways as a result of extensive practice and retraining is a key feature of the rehabilitation process. However, patient boredom is a big issue in rehabilitation owing to the extensive practice that is necessary. Awareness of the value of haptic (touch-enabled) interfaces in computer applications has grown because to the emergence of games with buzzing joysticks and consumer electronics with touchpads. Some forms of haptics, however, are paving the way… Show more

“…The rapid evolution of haptic technology necessitates the need to conduct an updated review. 24 Furthermore, the previous review focused primarily on randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and thus not capturing a wide array of studies within surgical education with other methodologies. 23 Small sample sizes due to specialized populations (eg, medical residents and physicians) are common in this field, and accordingly, many studies are unable to pursue an RCT methodology.…”

“…El proceso en el que las personas interactúan con los objetos físicos, es decir, manipularlos y sentir sus características como la forma, textura, temperatura, entre otros, se conoce como háptica humana (Alur et al, 2014). La tecnología háptica ha avanzado en este último siglo, dado que este tipo de tecnología tiene la capacidad de sensar el movimiento del usuario para manipular algún dispositivo físico y/o virtual y retroalimentarlo aplicando fuerza, calor o alguna vibración al usuario mediante algún actuador, simulando así la háptica humana (Shazhaev et al, 2023;Huisman, 2017).…”

“…Gracias a la tecnología de realidad virtual (VR por sus siglas en inglés) y realidad aumentada (AR por sus siglas en inglés), la tecnología háptica ha incrementado su uso en distintas áreas como: los videojuegos y el entretenimiento. Sin embargo, también ha tenido impacto en áreas como la educación, al diseñar dispositivos para mejorar la comprensión de algunos conceptos, además de aplicarse en educación a distancia; y la medicina al diseñar simuladores para procedimientos médico-quirúrgicos, cirugía remota, robots de rehabilitación, entre otros (Shazhaev et al, 2023).…”
