About
Angela Chan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of haptics, medical robotics, and sensor design, with a primary focus on translating the nuanced art of clinical touch into quantifiable, engineerable systems. Her landmark work, "Characterization of Medical Neck Palpation to Inform Design of Haptic Palpation Sensors" (2025), systematically deconstructs the biomechanics and force profiles of skilled manual diagnosis, providing the foundational data needed to build robotic hands and sensorized gloves for regions facing a shortage of trained practitioners. Though her most-cited paper has garnered 4 citations, its impact is deeply strategic, serving as a critical blueprint for the next generation of telemedicine and autonomous diagnostic tools. Chan’s contributions bridge a vital gap between traditional clinical expertise and modern haptic engineering, offering a replicable methodology for capturing expert touch. Her research is particularly notable for its potential to democratize healthcare access, making her a key voice in the push toward affordable, sensor-driven medical assessment.
