Adaptool

2015
上海 / SHANGHAI
Faced with the problem of an outdated prosthetics market that primarily aims to replicate the “natural” grip and appearance of the human hand, my collaborators and I conceptualized Adaptool. The design was a modular prosthetic that aimed to empower amputees by bypassing the “grip function” of hands, and instead used a modular socket for amputees to attach tools directly to their limbs and myoelectric signals from the surface of the skin to control the tools. 

Adaptool won the Most Impactful Award at the 2015 Microsoft Design Expo.
