Creoto - A Programmable Smart Socket for Amputees
Creoto is a programmable smart socket that adjusts to user’s need and comfort in real-time through an interactive interface.
Comfort level is one of the most important aspect of a prosthesis socket, without which the functionality of using the prosthetic device is compromised. It is a primary reason on which a patient would decide to wear a prosthesis or not to.
Use of Creoto, gives the user a customised comfort. They can digitally connect with their smart socket and select different types of grips and comforts levels, according to the type of activities they do in day-to day life. For instance, sitting would require lesser grip, while walking – a medium grip and while running or playing sports – a firmer grip.
Creoto is based on a new method of digital and physical interaction loop that means when we change a physical form of an object, it is digitally captured and with digital input the physical form changes through deformation. This is a bidirectional way of interaction in real time that can be very useful for user’s interaction with physical world.Info
