Haptec research for health

Scientific research to neuronal processing of haptic impulses have relevance in the health sector - particularly for sports, rehabilitation and therapy.

Here Haptec researches for the future

• On objective methods for measuring and quantifying the sense of touch:

  for better diagnostics / to predict tactile deprivation (caused by age / medical conditions like Neuropathics, Diabetics) or to change the sense of touch with training (i.e. after learning braille).

• On methods that improve the sense of touch:

  test procedures (patents) and exercise programs - in particular to re-establish the sense of touch after nerve debilitation, but also studies about „passive learning“ by stimulating skin and nerves.
