EMBODISENSE

Embodiment of Sensors to Improve Real-Life Gait
03/2023 – 02/2025 (EUROSTARS)
The consortium develops EMBODISENSE, an innovative multisensory device
for major target groups of SAPHENUS: amputees (protheses users) and poly
neuropathy patients. EMBODISENSE consists of smart algorithms that
combine pressure and inertial sensing to provide bionic feedback for gait
rehabilitation and improve embodiment. The scientific validity of
EMBODISENSE will be established in this project through investigation
studies together with external clinical partners. EMBODISENSE will improve
gait stability and will be the basis for ambulant rehabilitation in gait and
physical activity analysis. With EMBODISENSE injuries are reduced and
quality of life is improved.
Tasks: proposal development, project management support.

BIONIC FEEDBACK SYSTEM FOR AMPUTEES AND DIABETICS
07/2020 – 06/2022 (H2020-EIC-SMEInst-2018-2020-3)
For the two target groups SAPHENUS Medical Technology has the breakthrough solution using the bionic principle. With the Bionic Feedback System (BFS) the affected persons get back the feeling of the lost or damaged foot and the brain is provided with sensory information again. SURALIS and CUTANEUS, the two BFS-products of SAPHENUS are patented high-tec add-on devices that consist of (i) a sensor sole and (ii) a transmission part which is applied on the stump or leg. SURALIS and CUTANEUS represent a new medical product category supporting cost-efficient, affordable, optimised care for amputees and diabetics.
Tasks: proposal development, management support, Go-to-Market strategy, internationalisation
