| Research Abstract |
In this work, monitoring system for human scratching behavior has been developed in order to evaluate itch sensation and therapeutic process of skin disease. For this purpose, a nail-mounted scratch sound sensor, a finger bending polymer sensor, and a ring-type finger force senor were designed and the effectiveness against monitoring of scratching were verified by experiment. Additionally, relationship between sensor output from scratch sound sensor and scratch motion properties such as shear force and velocity wasinvestigated. And estimation methods of motion properties were constructed.
