Turning a rehabilitation prototype into a wearable product.
Design, material selection and initial small-series manufacturing for clinical test trials.
Swift Recovery through Wearable Tech
The client
Osind Medi Tech is specialized in creating advanced Hand Rehabilitation devices for patients recovering from trauma, specifically targeting the fingers, arm, and elbow. Their goal is to revolutionize the rehabilitation journey through innovative technology, enhancing patient outcomes and accelerating recovery.
The challenge
Osind developed a wearable hand remobilization device to help stroke patients regain the ability to use their hands. After successful testing of a minimum viable product it was time to transfer the design from a prototype into an end use product. Ensuring patient comfort and safety during device use required meeting specific design specifications. These guidelines not only influenced the device’s design but also dictated the selection of materials and production methods.
Together with Osind we defined the specifications for the end use product. Using these specifications, we designed the final product and selected suitable materials, production technologies, and post-processing methods. The innovative nature of additive manufacturing allowed us to quickly iterate based on feedback from patients and physiotherapists. Ultimately, we produced an initial small series, ensuring the products met the required quality standards for clinical test trials.
The advantages
Final compact product
- The wearable device can be easily scaled up to meet increased production demands.
- Additive manufacturing accelerates product development, allowing for a rapid market introduction.
- The design is incredibly efficient, utilizing minimal materials while maintaining a compact form.
