Our Approach
& Services

Human-Centered Design

Co-creating solutions with the people who need them.
 

We are a multidisciplinary team of designers, engineers, and therapists who work directly with individuals, families, and caregivers to ensure each solution fits the person’s life, not vice versa.

What this means in practice

  • User interviews and daily-life observations.

  • Co-design sessions that let users choose colors, functions and priorities.

  • Therapeutic validation to ensure function and safety.

  • Measurable outcome goals (mobility, self-care, participation).

Who benefits

Individuals of all ages with limb differences, limited hand function, or daily-living challenges; rehab centers and therapists seeking practical solutions.

3D-Printed Prosthetic
Locally made, modular, and designed for real life.​

  • Modular system: custom base + 5 interchangeable end units for writing, eating, sports, music, and general grip.

  • Fast turnaround: designed for rapid prototyping and local production (initial production measured in days).

  • Lightweight & robust: ultra-light bases (<350g) capable of supporting everyday loads (design tested up to ~5kg depending on end unit).

  • Full personalization: color, form, engraving and end-unit selection.

  • Clinical co-design: every device fitted and validated with therapists.

Process (prosthetic path)

  • Scan or measure residual limb

  • Digital design and socket fitting

  • Print prototype

  • Clinical fitting & training

  • Handover + scheduled follow-ups.

Who it’s for:

People needing upper-limb prosthetic solutions who want fast, affordable, user-centered devices and local servicing.

Assistive Tools & Adaptive Devices

Innovative aids that make everyday life easier.

  • Daily living aids: utensil grips, cup holders, button/zippers helpers, phone cuffs, bottle openers.

  • Mobility & access: portable ramps, bag holders, car-assist handles, wheelchair attachments.

  • Therapy & developmental tools: toddler mobility trainers, standing frames, foldable wheelchair tables.

  • Sensory & behavioral products: weighted blankets and vests for self-regulation.

Why these matter

Small, well-designed tools often unlock large gains in independence and dignity. Our design goal: maximum function with minimum complexity.

Examples of delivery

Design consultation → tailored CAD prototype → printing & finishing → user fitting and training.

Workshops & Training

Building local capacity for digital design and manufacturing.

We run hands-on programs for:

  • Therapists & clinicians: practical training on  Design, assessment, fitting, and device integration.

  • Design & engineering students: CAD, 3D printing workflows, and low-cost prototyping for assistive solutions.

  • Institutional setup: helping hospitals and NGOs integrate local production — from equipment selection to staff training.

  • Community workshops: co-design sessions to involve families and users in product development

Typical formats

  • 1–3 day intensive workshops (onsite).

  • Modular online courses (fundamentals + advanced modules).

  • Long-term partnerships for institutional capacity building.

Outcomes

Participants leave able to design, prototype, and maintain basic assistive devices, increasing local sustainability and lowering long-term costs.

Quality, Safety & Materials

  • We use tested, biocompatible materials suitable for daily use and easy cleaning.

  • Clinical oversight is built into prototyping and fitting stages.

  • Devices are designed for repairability — spare parts and simple maintenance are standard.

Pricing & Partnership Options

  • Direct-to-patient (B2C): tailored prosthetics and tools with a sliding scale or donor-supported options.

  • Institutional (B2B): bulk orders, maintenance contracts, and training packages for hospitals and rehab centers.

  • Sponsored programs: donor or NGO-funded pilots to provide devices for vulnerable children or communities.
