Join a Start-up! Here at Tendo we are developing a soft robotic gripping aid, an soft exoskeleton, which aims to improve the life of people suffering from limitations due to e.g. arthritis, age, an injury, or stroke. We are using design as a tool to not only maximize function but also to minimize the feeling of being sick. Are you interested in product design, robotics, human behavior and wearable tech and have a passion to change the the stigmatic view on medical devices? Send us a message!

WHAT´S TENDO?

Tendo is a soft robotic exoskeleton which brings strength to weak hands with the help of artificial muscles. Tendo is created with the user in mind with an understanding of how a limitation affects the self-image. Design is used, not only to maximize function, but also to minimize the feeling of being sick. It’s made for people, not symptoms. 

Tendo creates greater independence for people suffering from limitations due to e.g. arthritis, an injury, stroke or age and results in an improved self-image and quality of life as well as a reduces need of assistance from the community and family. Tendo is worn like a glove and enables a strong grip in more or less all everyday situations.
