Novel Partial Hand Prosthesis for people with disability

这是一个资助与上肢残障人士进行深度产品协同设计的项目。我们的目的是共同创造一种新颖且易于使用的设备，以改善数千万人的生活。该项目将涵盖每月的共同设计和参与会议，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。每月的研讨会将包括收集定量和定性数据、设计研讨会、实验室测试和家庭测试。该项目将重点关注那些部分手部截肢的人，他们的上肢活动受到限制或由于他们的病情而完全丧失。如果该项目能够为产品开发过程提供信息，以确保任何进入商业化的产品都能满足最终用户的需求，那么该项目将是成功的。该项目将利用和建立公司现有的新知识产权，并在此基础上为新知识产权提供机会，以保护设计、控制系统和制造方法。

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.
