Revolutionary Prosthetic Hand with Temperature Sensation Unveiled

For the first time, a prosthetic hand allows users to feel hot and cold, enhancing the sense of touch and connection.

Scientists have developed the MiniTouch, a prosthetic hand capable of sensing temperature, enabling amputees to feel warmth or coldness.
The device uses sensors to transmit thermal information from the prosthetic's fingertips to the wearer's arm, allowing for accurate temperature perception.
Clinical trials have shown remarkable accuracy in distinguishing between objects of different temperatures, significantly improving users' ability to interact with their environment.
The MiniTouch aims to restore a fuller spectrum of sensory experiences to amputees, including the emotional connection of human touch.
Future developments will focus on integrating multiple sensory inputs, such as touch, proprioception, and temperature, into a single system.
