AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Medical professionals divert their attention from the patient during procedures to monitor sensor data, leading to decreased procedural accuracy, increased complication risk, and prolonged procedure times due to the absence of non-visual sensor feedback.
Method used
A medical device with a haptic feedback module that generates patterns based on sensor measurements, allowing medical professionals to maintain focus on the patient by providing tactile feedback through a handle or remote system.
Benefits of technology
Enhances procedural accuracy, reduces complication risk, and shortens procedure times by enabling continuous attention to patient conditions through haptic feedback.

Abstract
Medical devices and related methods are described. A medical device may include a handle including a haptic feedback module, the haptic feedback module configured to generate a first haptic feedback pattern upon satisfaction of at least one condition, and a shaft extending distally from the handle, a distal end of the shaft including at least one measurement sensor. The at least one measurement sensor may be configured to measure a first parameter associated with a target site of a subject.
