Madglove Sense
Madglove builds a functional orthosis that gives people with reduced hand mobility their grip back at home. They needed to measure whether it was working — motion data, from a glove whose mechanics could not be disturbed, on a battery small enough that nobody notices it.
- The constraintSensors that do not interfere with the glove’s mechanics, powered by a battery, small enough to wear all day.
- What we builtA series of prototypes ending in an interconnected sensor device with on-device movement classification — battery, microcontroller, and sensor small enough to sit on a finger ring, in a 3D-printed case we designed.
- PlusA computer-vision tool that tracks hand and finger joint landmarks, so physiotherapists can measure a patient’s range of motion instead of estimating it.
- AlsoWe sat in the design-for-manufacturing conversations with suppliers on behalf of a non-technical team.
