MyoMod

Focus on intuitive myoelectric control

At MyoMod, we believe that the way you control your prosthesis is one of the most important factors in determining whether it truly supports you in daily life—or ends up not being used at all. That’s why we’re initially focusing on developing intuitive control algorithms. To support this, we’ve built an armband equipped with the same EMG sensors that will later be used in the prosthesis. This allows us to test and refine the algorithms in a virtual environment and collect high-quality training data efficiently.

Our Mission

We are a small startup in our founding phase developing prosthetic solutions. It is our belief that myoelectric control and its associated benefits, should be widely available. We thereby focus on regions without proper health insurance and care infrastructure. Therefore our Designs have to be extremely robust, very affordable and easy to repair. Being modular by design, MyoMod can be quickly adapted to different pathologies.

Gamified trainigdata collection

The student founded gamestudio MouseWorks has create Float as part of one of their classes. Float is a lovely mixed reality experience where you help the Pookis to peaceful harmony and while you’re doing this you can collect valueable training data.

First prototype of EMG Armband

We’ve created the first prototype of our EMG Armband that uses the same EMG-Sensors as the final prosthesis. This allows us to easily gather training data for our control algorithm.
