Dhruv Agrawal, founder of Aether Biomedical, shares how a birthday gift 3D printer led him from medical school to developing the Zeus hand, the strongest bionic prosthetic hand on the market with revolutionary cloud-based tracking capabilities.
• Journey from medical student to prosthetics innovator began with a 3D printer birthday gift
• Uses additive manufacturing not just for prototyping but for actual production components
• Zeus hand features industry-leading grip strength and 30-minute repair capability
• Cloud-based platform tracks usage data, showing super users complete 700-800 grip cycles daily
• Data collected helps optimize device settings and provides evidence for insurance authorization
• Most users rely on 4-6 standard grips plus 2-3 customized grips for specific activities
• Currently working on multiple versions of the Zeus hand at different price points
• Long-term vision is to become "the operating system for assistive devices" across prosthetics, orthotics, and exoskeletons
• Company of 60 people with half dedicated to research and development
• Future developments include VR training tools for phantom limb pain management
