About
Dr. Andrea Jester is a leading researcher in pediatric hand surgery and rehabilitation technology, whose work bridges clinical expertise with cutting-edge sensor innovation. Her primary research focuses on the assessment and treatment of congenital hand differences, with a particular emphasis on developing remote monitoring solutions to improve patient outcomes. In her landmark 2024 study, "Systematic Evaluation of IMU Sensors for Application in Smart Glove System for Remote Monitoring of Hand Differences," Dr. Jester addressed the critical challenge of accurately measuring the hand's complex 20+ degrees of freedom. By systematically evaluating inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors, she laid the groundwork for a smart glove system that enables precise, remote tracking of digit movement—a breakthrough for children with hand differences who require ongoing functional assessment. This work, already garnering 7 citations, demonstrates her commitment to translating engineering principles into practical, non-invasive tools that empower families and clinicians. Dr. Jester’s contributions are reshaping how hand function is monitored, moving from subjective observation to objective, data-driven care, and her innovative approach promises to enhance independence and quality of life for patients worldwide.
