buttonsens® force sensor is the ideal solution to monitor the load on the finger.
buttonsens® force sensor measures the force on fingers during activities performed in ergonomics, manufacturing quality control, and biomechanics. It is attached to the finger or thumb and detects the normal force acting on the sensor.
The buttonsens® utilizes one fully calibrated, capacitive sensor made of textile materials which is connected to the small and lightweight loadpad® electronics.
As the sensor is thin and highly adaptable there is minimal disturbance to the proprioceptive perception. It communicates wirelessly via Bluetooth® with a mobile device.
Data acquisition, real-time transmission via Bluetooth®, and data evaluation is captured with the loadapp® app. The app displays force over time and provides immediate feedback regarding the applied force via an auditory or visual signal.
The measured data can be stored on the smartphone and to the cloud and transferred to a computer for further analysis.
The buttonsens® force sensor is the ideal solution for mobile applications to monitor the load on the finger.

loadglove® measures forces across the palm and fingers.
The loadglove® detects the normal force acting on the sensors placed on the fingers and the palm. The force sensor is the ideal solution for mobile applications during hand activities performed in ergonomics, manufacturing quality control, biomechanics, and more.The loadglove® utilizes buttonsesn and loadpad, made of textile materials which are connected to small and lightweight electronics. It consists of 1 loadpad sensor for the palm and 1-13 buttonsens sensors for the fingers. It communicates wirelessly via Bluetooth to loadapp on a mobile device.
