Description:

Saphenus Medical Technology provides solutions for people with amputations. It transforms your prosthesis into a feeling prosthesis. A flexible sensor sock allows the system to be fitted to any type of prosthetic foot. Five durable and wear-free sensors register the ground contact as well as the rolling movement of the prosthetic foot and transmit these signals to the transmitter.The transmitter transmits the signals from the sensor sock wirelessly and in real time to the actuator unit on the stump. By using an ultra-low power connection, you only need to charge the transmitter’s battery once a week.The actuator transmits the signals as different vibration patterns to the adjacent skin area of the residual limb. As a result, you feel the gait pattern 1:1 when walking and can precisely distinguish the rolling motion of the prosthetic foot. Saphenus received the highest possible funding in the European Union, the EIC Accelerator. https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/954604/de
