There have been many innovations in the field of prosthetics, but the challenges facing machine learning have made it difficult to modify products. However, a new innovation from UK-based Covvi has found an effective way to solve this problem. The ‘Nexus Hand’ will enable its users to perform tasks such as holding a glass or opening a door using “electrical impulses from the muscles in the upper arm into motor-driven movement”. It can also be updated at any time using the built-in Bluetooth technology.
The bionic hand will be used by Australian Paralympian Jessica Smith, who participated in swimming at the 2004 Paralympics in Athens. “There was always the connection that this prosthetic device didn’t actually help, but created the most traumatic event of my life,” she told . “I’ve had a few kids ask me if I can do different hand gestures, some polite, some not so polite,” she said. “I asked Covvi this morning and I know it will be done in the next few hours. They think it’s amazing and I’m like half human half robot,” she added.
The Bluetooth device attached to the bionic arm was the brainchild of company founder Simon Pollard, who he called “the first of its kind”. “The fact that we can remotely change some of the things that the customer wants is a really powerful thing and it’s a first on the market,” he said in an official statement.
