designer's own words:

When people get old, xeroderma may cause them to scratch their skin very hard unconciously.
Especially, aged people with dementia may scratch themselves until they bleed, while they are asleep.
Viruses under fingernails sometimes cause skin diseases, which may develop into malignant skin disease.
The aged people have slow skin renewal process, so the chances are higher.
Since nursing the aged with dementia is very difficult, there are some cases where gloves or plastics are used to control the patients, when carers are absent.This brings up the issues of violation of human rights.This medical device is designed to effectively take care of the patients, and also protect the patients in terms of human rights.
