Innovative user-centred solution to transform upper limb amputees’ treatment

Building from the strong drivers of hand amputee needs, currently unmet by the existing solutions in the market, the central goal of OneHAND project is to accelerate the market introduction of a disruptive user centred approach to prosthetic hand use – OneHAND solution. The oneHAND solution aims at maximizing user comfort, optimize price-point and improve overall experience to minimize prosthesis abandon altogether. It comprises a light, fast, modular and scalable prosthesis and a virtual reality training platform in a unique delivery model. The overall aim of OneHAND project is to mature, demonstrate and finalize the OneHand solution, while building the foundation to disrupt the value chain. OneHAND brings together a consortium of three SMEs (Hy5, TSC, PROTH) and the international amputee association (IC2A) – in unison representing a technical side specialized in hand prosthesis and VR training platform development, the business and societal sides with unique knowledge on users, prosthetists and clinics requirements and on routes to market for innovative solutions. The consortium expects a successful market introduction of the OneHAND solution within the next 3 years, tapping into a large business opportunity, and sustaining a very fast-paced growth for the industrial partners.
