The Eco Budget-Friendly Prosthetic System
CWSF · 2026 Health & Wellness
Overview
We have developed a low-cost prosthetic hand system that can be controlled using muscle signals from the arm. When a person tightens their muscles, small electrical signals are produced, and my system uses a sensor to detect these signals and turn them into movement and into a visible graph. This is important because many advanced prosthetic hands are very expensive and not accessible to everyone. By using simple electronics and eco-friendly materials like a 3D-printed hand, this project shows a more affordable and sustainable solution. It matters because it could help improve access to prosthetic technology and make everyday tasks easier for people with limb loss. photo -----> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dcl7k8pjg1us85S3XFhk6qI1WGHN29n0pmh5OVyVm5Y/edit?usp=sharing
