WIDE Software for prosthetists and orthotists to perform mass customization of individually generated smart assistive devices for various disabilities

We're creating next generation customization software for individual adjustment of prosthetics and orthotics that are digitally manufactured. There's no mass customization tool for prosthetics and orthotics automatic adjustment in the market. WiDE software is solving global problem of medical professional's inability to serve all patients in need for assistive device. This is due to time consuming and complex individual assistive device customization process and limited number of specialists. In Europe alone there are over 4 million people living with limb deficiencies or other problems that need assistive devices, globally there are 50 million people with this need and 9 of 10 people don't have access to prosthetic or orthotic [http://goo.gl/SbYrJh] . Existing approach is not able to solve global need for assistive devices. To solve this problem we're engaging artificial intelligence and making customization automatic. By providing medical professionals with this software we provide them with a tool to serve 16 patients instead of one patient in the same time frame. Every specialist can use it, even without experience in digital modelling. Our software is a tool for AUTOMATIC and INDIVIDUAL customization, based on persons 3D scan data. Combining pre-defined digital design of P&O and the 3D scan, software generates individual digital model which is then manufactured using additive manufacturing, assuring low cost, life-like, light weight and functional product. Software WiDE is beneficial to practitioners or companies who customize and manufacture individual assistive devices not providing off-the shelf general solutions. For prosthetist-orthotist:
- increased capacity - customization time reduced from 2-4 hours to 15 minutes per case
- fast implementation in the workflow due to intuitive interface and automated functions
- financial savings due to excluding training and purchase of several expensive softwares and using only one instead
- time savings due to usage of one software from measurement to production instead of several solutions
- faster and more precise measurements, especially important with children due to substituting conventional methods with digital ones (3d scan, customization and 3d printing)
- fast iterations and also repeatability if several devices must be manufactured due to exploitation of digital data
- lower cost due to savings on human labour hours and additive manufacturing

When we are modeling custom device based on another practitioner's taken 3D scan, commonly we have to exchange information about trimlines/edges of assistive device.

Some send .JPG's with drawn on lines, some scan plaster with drawn-on lines.

There are many options, but WiDE recommends using digital tools and to draw everything in 3D.

Here's short video on how to paint trimlines on 3D scan in Autodesk Meshmixer - Free 3D model modifying tool:
