Chinese scientists are on the brink of licking this problems.  They have developed a robotic finger that can mimic human touch.  They call it the Bioinspired Soft Finger and it can feel your pulse, note lumps on or under your skin, and feel skin thickening that might occur with an infection. Beware—- a creepy mechanical finger might be probing you…..someday soon. https://www.mdlinx.com/article/using-a-robotic-finger-to-conduct-exams/DStVf25WDHloeIekLh5Hu?show_order=1&utm_campaign=reg_daily-alert_241118_daily-nl-am-v4_registered-users-a180&utm_source=iterable&utm_medium=email #robots #examination #telemedicine
