Mobilis

After three years and 300+ prototypes, we have designed and patented the most accessible prosthetic in existence. The MobilisArm utilizes anatomically positioned adjustable clasps to create a modular, universal-fit prosthetic arm that eliminates the need for trained professionals in the fitting process. We use FDM 3D printing to fabricate rigid components from Carbon Fiber-infused filament and flexible parts from TPU with variable infill densities, enabling us to manufacture our prosthetic at $40 versus the typical $8,000+ cost of traditional prosthetics.

The strategic placement of the cuffs creates a supracondylar locking mechanism, which pairs with an above-the-elbow adjustable clasp system. This configuration distributes mechanical load evenly along the arm, reducing pressure on sensitive areas and allowing for precise fit adjustments. Multiple adjustable clasps, similar to those found in modern orthotic devices, enable our universal-fit design to be quickly and securely adapted to various residual limb sizes with one-handed operation.

Our modular design ensures that all parts are easily replaceable and simple to disassemble and reassemble, minimizing long-term maintenance costs and making local production viable in resource-limited settings. Leading an 8-member team across MIT and Harvard, we've established partnerships with Jaipur Foot (India), Operation Renew Prosthetics (Ukraine), and Direct Relief to serve the 40+ million amputees worldwide who lack access to affordable prosthetic solutions. This technology platform promises to revolutionize prosthetic accessibility by combining state-of-the-art engineering with globally scalable manufacturing and distribution.
