Virtual communication platform for remote tactile and/or electrical stimuli

A system comprising a virtual communication platform comprising a web-based collaboration platform for person-to-person communication comprising:

• a first pair of data communication devices to enable communication between a first person and a second person;
• a body-suit to be worn by the first person, the body-suit comprising one or more actuators configured to convert electrical signals to tactile and/or electrical stimuli, wherein the body-suit is configured to convey the tactile and/or electrical stimuli to a body part of the first person;
• and
• a model replica of the body-suit configured to receive the tactile and/or electrical stimuli from the second person and to convert the tactile and/or electrical stimuli into the electrical signals which are conveyed to the body-suit over a network, wherein the model replica is located at the same location as that of the second person;
• wherein the communication includes a physical response of the first person to the tactile and/or electrical stimuli, the physical response enabling the second person to determine the first person's physical and/or mental state;
• and
• wherein the body-suit is configured to replicate the tactile and/or electrical stimuli of the model replica and convey the tactile and/or electrical stimuli to the first person;
• wherein the tactile and/or electrical stimuli from the second person are designed to determine a region of pain in the first person.
