Limbs and prosthetics
In recent years, technological innovation has led to significant advancements in artificial limb developments. The growing need for connected, personalised healthcare that can track patient behaviour, and the capabilities of artificial intelligence, have created a wide range of product opportunities. TG0’s smart technology can be incorporated into robotic limbs and prosthetics to measure forces, map pressure, track activity and recognise human movement patterns — particularly useful in exercise training and medical monitoring.
Measuring enhanced interaction modes
- Body print
- Limb print
- Hand placement
- Force distribution
- Alignment
- Gesture detection
- Activity tracking
TG0 technology can turn any conductive polymeric materials into smart sensing surfaces programmed to provide electrical signals that describe material deformation at high resolutions. That includes body and limb prints, hand placement, force distribution, alignment, gesture detection and activity tracking. Where traditional matrix-based piezoresistive technologies are constrained in terms of flexibility, scalability and cost effectiveness, TG0 patented polymer-based technology can be applied to scalable, flexible sensor sheets that remain affordable in mass production.
Technology meets comfort
● No sacrificing comfort for functionality
● Full styling flexibility on any surface finish, including easy clean and waterproof options
● Any surface curvature
● Pliable, soft, lightweight sensing materials
● WiFi & Bluetooth enabled
The lack of flexible sensing solutions has limited attempts to implement and commercialise stand-alone motion tracking recognition products that are comfortable as well as functional. TG0’s solution uses pliable, soft, lightweight sensing materials that can be applied to any surface curvature and any surface finish (including easy clean and waterproof options). Plus, using artificial intelligence, TG0’s pressure sensing technology for limbs and prosthetics, can accurately recognise movements, alignment and fit as well as accuracy, comfort, while relying only on hardware sensor data.
Streamlined process
● Build smarter from prototype to product
● Rapid prototyping opportunities
● Shape and size scalability
● Fewer sensors for increased performance and easier assembly
● Highest sensor coverage on the market.
TG0’s multi-disciplinary team will work on the solution end to end, taking a prototype all the way through to a product that’s ready for mass production. Fewer sensors allow for easier assembly without affecting performance – indeed it’s a solution with the highest sensor coverage on the market. The hardware is accompanied by a set of software solutions capable of delivering real-time posture and activity tracking.
In summary, TG0 patented polymer based sensor technology offers a disruptive method of manufacturing large-sized 3D shaped sensor arrays. These are in turn accompanied by a set of software solutions capable of delivering real-time posture and activity tracking.
