Snapform is a company dedicated to improving the lives of amputees. We are reinventing the way to make high quality custom-fitted prosthetics using the latest cutting-edge digital technology. We believe that technology can help design better prosthatics and our goal is to give all amputees the opportunity to be active and have a dignified life. There are an estimated 65 million people living with lower limb amputations and the great majority in low and middle-income countries are left without prosthetic devices, due to the unavailability and unaffordability. Our technology hav the potential to change this.
The goal of Snapform is to establish a leading player in the global prosthesis industry by leveraging the shift from manual to digital workflows.
Technology
Snapform has developed an advanced simulation program called SimFit, which calculates the optimal fit for prosthetic sockets. Each socket is tailored to the individual patient, considering their anatomy, needs, activity level, and medical history. SimFit digitizes and automates traditional craftsmanship, making the process more efficient and accurate.
Currently, Snapform uses SimFit to design prosthetic sockets for below-knee amputees. In the future, this technology will expand to design a wide range of products worn on the body or interacting with it, enabling even greater impact.
Opportunities
This innovative approach is a game-changer for the prosthetics industry. By reducing the need for manual labor and expensive workshops, Snapform offers a method that is exceptionally scalable compared to industry norms.
SimFit allows Snapform to deliver customized prosthetic sockets at a fraction of the traditional cost and time. This scalable, cost-effective, and rapid process has the potential to dramatically improve the quality of life for countless individuals in need of prosthetics while revolutionizing the industry as a whole.
