Talk: Smart surgical gloves - precision at your fingertips
Also in “ Summer Science”
This event is part of the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition 2025.
Imagine a glove so sensitive it can detect the lightest touch, the slightest pressure, and even tiny shifts in friction. Now imagine that glove guiding a surgeon’s hand in the operating theatre. In this talk, discover how ultra-low-cost nano-sensors - costing less than a pound each - are being used to create smart surgical gloves that enhance precision and safety. Also learn about the broader healthcare advances this research may facilitate.
Join , part of exhibit group, to explore how sensing technology is transforming the future of healthcare, one touch at a time.
