1. A device for providing dexterous hand function assessment and therapy, comprising:
a first portion of flexible material forming a cavity;
a second portion of non-flexible material;
a pressure sensor;
a wireless transceiver;
a power storage unit;
a sensor device;
a printed circuit board (PCB) coupled to the second portion; and
wherein a portion of an edge of the first portion is configured to create a semi-hermetic seal with at least a portion of an edge of the second portion, and the PCB has connected thereto the pressure sensor, the wireless transceiver, and the power storage unit;
wherein said pressure sensor comprises a barometer for measuring pressure within said cavity;
wherein a temperature reading from said sensor device is provided from within said cavity to form temperature data;
wherein said temperature data and said pressure data are transmitted from the device through said wireless transceiver, for determination of an external force applied to said first portion of flexible material.
