SoftDesign_Orthotic | INNOVATIVE MEDICAL SOFTWARE DESIGN FOR ORTHOTIC THERAPY

Summary
Custom-made orthotic devices such as orthoses, shoes, insoles, and prosthesis shafts are a central feature of orthotic therapy. It is estimated that 1-2% of the whole population are at some time in need of such an orthotic device, and about 1% of the global healthcare budget is spent on orthotic therapy.
Usually, an orthotic technician still produces these by hand and fits them by feel, visual inspection, and verbal feedback from the patient, if available.
sendance offers a complete solution to manufacturers of custom-made orthotic devices that enables them to digitize their products. The three components of this solution are:
sendance-grid: a thin, conformable and permeable sensor matrix called sendance-grid can be seamlessly integrated in the surface of the orthosis. This groundbreaking solution in the field of stretchable electronics enables for the first time a quantitative analysis of the fit of custom-made orthotic devices.
sendance-cloud: sendance provides an integrated software solution called sendance-cloud for managing and visuaizing the data gathered by the sendance-grids. The data collection in the sendance-cloud is the basis for Big-Data-Analysis that can help to optimize orthotic therapy.
sendance-services: the sendance-services provide assistance to patients, orthotic technicians and orthopedists with warnings and recommendations based on the data in the sendance-cloud.
In the framework of the Women TechEU, the CTO Dr. Yana Vereshchaga with assistance of the COO Dr. Daniela Wirthl will head a project to
- make a valid project plan for the sendance-cloud and sendance-service products
- create mockup demonstrators
- draft a roadmap for medical product regulations
- set up a first implementation of a quality management system according to ISO13485
Additonally, they will improve their business, project management and leadership skills in order to support their move from university science into leading positions in a dynamic start-up environment.
