Welcome to our website. We evolve technologies into novel applications.
Enhance peoples’ potential by providing assistive technologies.
Wearable technolgy
to support arm movements
Our technology is a non-electronic wearable, which provides close-to-body support that cancels out gravity in every possible natural position of the arms. This means that no energy is wasted on lifting the arms (2,5 kg each) so that the remaining muscle force can be used for carrying out the natural movements required in daily life. This enables the user to retain or regain their arm functions.
Sensor technology
to monitor movement
The sensor platform tracks all arm movements with the aim to provide feedback to the patient and caregivers, in the form of insights and advice regarding arm activity and fatigue. In parallel, the collected data allows distant monitoring by medical practitioners, and personalised the physical exercises for each individual patient.
Duchenne Parent Project
Founders of Yumen Bionics
Duchenne Parent Project Netherlands are the main founders of Yumen Bionics. Supporting the development of this bilateral arm support from the start in scientific research to a market-ready product that helps their kids with daily activities.
Collaborations
to improve and apply our technologies
In order to develop our technologies as best as possible, we continuously collaborate with researchers and developers from various disciplines. Moreover, Yumen Bionics conducts contextual user research through affiliated patient representation organizations.
