Medical Aids That Fit
Every Body
We are building a system that automates modification of standard medical aids — braces, prosthetics, and specialist devices — to better match each patient's individual anatomy.
The Problem
Standard Aids Don't Fit Every Patient
Medical aids — including braces, prosthetics, and specialist devices such as tracheostoma covers — are typically manufactured in standard sizes. Human bodies are not. The mismatch can cause discomfort, reduce the likelihood of consistent use, and potentially affect a patient's quality of life.
One Size Rarely Fits All
Standard sizing leaves significant anatomical variation unaddressed. Two patients with the same size label can have substantially different body profiles.
Discomfort Affects Daily Life
Aids that don't fit well are uncomfortable to wear or use. For many patients — particularly those relying on a prosthetic or a tracheostoma cover — fit is not just a matter of comfort, but of dignity and function.
Manual Fitting Has Limits
Existing customisation is largely manual, time-consuming, and dependent on specialist expertise — making it difficult to deliver consistently at scale.
Our Focus Areas
Who We're Building This For
We are initially focused on three areas where fit has a meaningful impact on patient wellbeing. This list may grow as our work develops.
Tracheostoma Covers
Patients living with a tracheostoma face daily challenges with standard cover and filter holders that do not conform well to the neck. We are investigating how 3D scanning of the stoma area can enable better-fitting, more comfortable devices.
Prosthetics
Prosthetic sockets and fittings must conform closely to the residual limb. We are exploring how we can enable automated & precise socket modification, with the goal of improving comfort and reducing skin complications.
Braces & Orthoses
Braces for the knee, wrist, back, and other joints often rely on standard sizing. We are developing a system that automates medical aid modifications, to enable a better match to the patient's anatomy.

We are at an early stage and welcome conversations with clinicians, prosthetists, medical device professionals, and potential partners or collaborators.
