"Temperature-Sensitive Prosthetic Limb Enhances Human Connection"

A new prosthetic limb called MiniTouch allows wearers to sense temperature, providing realistic and real-time thermal sensory feedback to amputees. The device, which does not require surgery, transmits thermal information from the fingertip of the prosthetic hand to the wearer’s residual arm, enabling them to perceive and respond to temperature. The technology has the potential to restore a full range of sensations through prosthetics, marking a significant advancement in the field of sensory feedback for artificial limbs.
