It’s reported that appropriate smells can improve psychological and physiological effects. Therefore, we developed Smell Wakka, a multi essential oil diffuser for rehabilitation support to achieve higher rehabilitation effects when used in combination with iWakka, a training and testing device for adjustability for grasping force. Smell Wakka can atomize six kinds of essential oils using an ultrasonic atomization method and a blowing fan, can be remotely controlled using Bluetooth. Moreover, we conducted performance evaluation experiments. The experimental results confirmed that two kinds of smells could be presented to the subjects by using the blowing fan.
