    - These measurements would also benefit doctors, because they can know the average hand size, so they can use this to conduct research. This could help research for hand size changes over time, or just average hand size for each gender.
    - This could also be used for phone designers, so they can make phones/tablets that can fit in people's hands, so that they aren't too big. 
    - The measurements could also be used for ergonomics, such as for making computer mouses, making it fit perfectly in the user's hand

    - Such as gloves, jewelry, smartphones. 
    - Jewelry like rings or accessories require average dimensions of people to achieve the perfect fit.
    - Also, doctors might need this information as they have to treat patients with hand issues. ]]>     2016-11-30 04:18:08 UTC https://padlet.com/twei/xx628atfcgls/wish/140710799     0008084 https://padlet.com/twei/xx628atfcgls/wish/140710820 Glove manufacturers may be interested in knowing this information so they can make the sizes of the gloves the same as the average hands of specific groups of people. For example, Small, medium and large hands for men. If they want to make three different sizes, they can take this information and sort the sizes out into three different size groups and make an average for that group as the size.
