Sensory disorders are one of the most common problems in modern society, affecting both communication and quality of life. Most of these disorders can be avoided by performing regular screening tests and minimising risk factors. The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the modern techniques built into the Sensory Examination Capsule for testing most of the senses. This new screening tool has the potential to significantly reduce the costs associated with health care by providing earlier and more accurate medical diagnoses.
