Like in all human relationships, the care relationship happens in a space-time environment where there is an encounter between the care giver and the care receiver. Care relationships mobilize all our senses and require a singular physical contact, thus, the hand becomes a technical mediation as well as symbolic of human communication. This article aims to comprehend the sensory, perceptible and symbolic dimensions that are involved in this perceptible experience from a cross-disciplinary point of view of the Information and Communication Sciences (ICS). Questioning the areas of the care relationship with a multidimensional view, characteristic of the ICS, can permit to suggest new viewpoints and to lead towards other ways of seeing proper to this research. We are coming into the era of a new confluence between the ICS and the sciences of health and care.
