Geometry-Dependent Properties of Physically Crosslinked PPy-PVA Hydrogels Enable Tunable Iontophoretic Drug Delivery
Heather Jin Hee Kim, Mohsen Alishahi, Kyuin Park +3
Objective: Iontophoretic drug delivery has primarily relied on current modulation to regulate drug transport. Here, we investigate hydrogel geometry, microstructure, and local elec…
Reliability of Smartphone-Based Vibration Threshold Measurements
Rachel A. G. Adenekan, Kyle T. Yoshida, Anis Benyoucef +4
Smartphone-based measurement platforms can collect data on human sensory function in an accessible manner. We developed a smartphone app that measures vibration perception threshol…
A Comparative Analysis of Smartphone and Standard Tools for Touch Perception Assessment Across Multiple Body Sites
Rachel A. G. Adenekan, Alejandrina Gonzalez Reyes, Kyle T. Yoshida +3
Tactile perception plays an important role in activities of daily living, and it can be impaired in individuals with certain medical conditions. The most common tools used to asses…
Exploring Human Response Times to Combinations of Audio, Haptic, and Visual Stimuli from a Mobile Device
Kyle T. Yoshida, Joel X. Kiernan, Allison M. Okamura +1
Auditory, haptic, and visual stimuli provide alerts, notifications, and information for a wide variety of applications ranging from virtual reality to wearable and hand-held device…
Cognitive and Physical Activities Impair Perception of Smartphone Vibrations
Kyle T. Yoshida, Joel X. Kiernan, Rachel A. G. Adenekan +4
Vibration feedback is common in everyday devices, from virtual reality systems to smartphones. However, cognitive and physical activities may impede our ability to sense vibrations…
Feasibility of Smartphone Vibrations as a Sensory Diagnostic Tool
Rachel A. G. Adenekan, Alexis J. Lowber, Bryce N. Huerta +3
Traditionally, clinicians use tuning forks as a binary measure to assess vibrotactile sensory perception. This approach has low measurement resolution, and the vibrations are highl…
Data-driven sparse skin stimulation can convey social touch information to humans
M. Salvato, Sophia R. Williams, Cara M. Nunez +7
During social interactions, people use auditory, visual, and haptic cues to convey their thoughts, emotions, and intentions. Due to weight, energy, and other hardware constraints,…
Investigating Social Haptic Illusions for Tactile Stroking (SHIFTS)
Cara M. Nunez, Bryce N. Huerta, Allison M. Okamura +1
A common and effective form of social touch is stroking on the forearm. We seek to replicate this stroking sensation using haptic illusions. This work compares two methods that pro…
Understanding Continuous and Pleasant Linear Sensations on the Forearm from a Sequential Discrete Lateral Skin-Slip Haptic Device
Cara M. Nunez, Sophia R. Williams, Allison M. Okamura +1
A continuous stroking sensation on the skin can convey messages or emotion cues. We seek to induce this sensation using a combination of illusory motion and lateral stroking via a…
