Mobilis

Revolutionary Prosthetic Startup

Universal-fit prosthetic arm reducing cost by 99% ($40 vs $10,000+) while eliminating the need for trained prosthetists. Patented design serves 40 million amputees in developing countries through innovative adjustable socket technology.

Engineering Solution

Problem Statement

40 million amputees in developing countries lack access to prosthetics due to (1) cost barriers ($10,000+ vs limited resources) and (2) requirement for trained prosthetists for custom fitting. Current solutions are unaffordable, low quality, and uncomfortable.

Technical Innovation

Patented universal-fit socket featuring strategically placed real-time adjustable clasps with skin-safe silicone padding. Enables mass production and <5-minute fitting by minimally trained personnel, eliminating prosthetist dependency. Manufacturing via FDM 3D printing using carbon fiber-infused filament (rigid) and TPU (flexible) with variable infill densities.

Validation & Performance

Tested with multiple amputees, passing ISO load-bearing standards with comfort ratings exceeding traditional custom-fit prosthetics. Cost: $40 (99% reduction). Deployment partnerships: Jaipur Foot (India), Operation Renew (Ukraine), Direct Relief. Leading 8-member MIT/Harvard team.
