Outline of Final Research Achievements

In recent years, researches on tacit knowledge possessed by nursing skills are actively conducted. Tacit knowledge has cognitive and technical aspects, and in case of nursing skills, it is necessary to formalize both. Many of the preceding studies have been studied on the cognitive side, however in this research, focusing on the technical aspect, we focused on the technological aspects and developed a "left hand finger" which plays a supplementary role in blood collection and intravenous injection technology which is one of nursing skills. We aim at extraction of tacit knowledge targeting . We measured the contact force of the left fingers and the extension of the skin and tried to clarify the tacit knowledge in the technical aspect by comparing the relevance between the expert and the beginner. Also we developed a prototype system of wearable learning.
