Understanding of Fingernail-Bone Interaction and Fingertip Hemodynamics for Fingernail Sensor Design
13 years 9 months ago
When the human fingertip is pressed against a surface or bent, the hemodynamic state of the fingertip is altered due to mechanical interactions between the fingernail and bone. No...
