Hi,
I'm trying to create a medical device that is able to pull on skin without using suction or affixing anything to the skin.
My first thought is to use magnetism of some kind. More specifically, I'm wondering if it's possible to attach two electrodes to my skin, about an inch apart from one another, and somehow flow current between the two so that that length of skin builds up sufficient magnetic charge or a sufficient magnetic field to be attracted to a nearby magnet that's like an inch away. Then I can turn on and off the current, in order to cause my skin to be selectively pulled towards the magnet. I don't really know anything about magnetism, but is something like this even feasible? If so, what would the current signal have to look like (e.g., in terms of magnitude, frequency, etc.)?
Are there other options you can think of?
Thanks in advance!
