This is a project to fund an in-depth product co-design process with people with upper limb disabilities. The purpose is to co-create a novel and accessible device that will improve tens of millions of lives. This project will cover monthly co-design and engagement sessions ensuring the R&D process for this device is iterative, high quality, and driven by the community it seeks to serve. Monthly workshops will include the collection of quantative and qualitative data, design workshops, lab testing, and at-home testing.The project will focus on people suffering from partial hand amputations whereby their upper limb mobility has been limited or is missing completely as a result of their condition. The project will be succesful if it can inform the product development process to ensure that any products that make it to commercialisation meet the needs of the end user.The project will exploit and build upon existing novel IP owned by the company and build on this with opportunities for new IP to protect the design, control systems and manufacturing methods.

这是一个项目，旨在资助与上肢残疾人士进行深入的产品联合设计过程。其目的是共同创造一种新的、可访问的设备，将改善数千万人的生活。该项目将包括每月的联合设计和参与会议，以确保该设备的研发过程是迭代的、高质量的，并由其寻求服务的社区驱动。每月的工作坊将包括收集定量和定性数据、设计工作坊、实验室测试和家庭测试。该项目将重点关注因身体状况而导致上肢活动受限或完全丧失的部分手截肢患者。如果该项目能够为产品开发流程提供信息，以确保任何商业化的产品都能满足最终用户的需求，那么该项目就会取得成功。该项目将利用和建立该公司现有的新知识产权，并在此基础上利用新知识产权保护设计、控制系统和制造方法。
