Medical Patch for Haptics-enabled Mechanotherapy

Wearable haptic technologies are emerging as promising tools for home-based therapy. We present a robotic patch capable of delivering controlled mechanical stimulation to human skin through compact actuation, compliant design, and integrated sensing. Experimental tests confirmed its ability to reproduce clinically relevant indentation and pressure levels, while morphological analysis demonstrated broad applicability across body regions. These findings suggest that wearable mechanotherapy can provide a safe and adaptable approach to support rehabilitation.
