Abstract
This research is investigating the use of acoustic radiation pressure from ultrasound emitters to produce tactile feedback in medical simulators. An initial application would be to simulate a pulse palpation where the trainee doctor or nurse actively searches for a pulse with their fingers to locate an artery within the body. Our first steps towards achieving this aim are summarised below.
