IF WE DEMOCRATIZE ON DEMAND ARTIFICIAL LIMBS FABRICATION, CAN WE HELP ANYONE REGAIN INDEPENDENCE?

WHAT CHALLENGE DOES INALI ADDRESS?

The world is home to more than 22 million pe​​​​​​​ople with disabilities, with children making up for nearly 8 million of that number. Due to the cost and lack of accessibility, most of these people never get the help they need. One of the most significant problems with the current prosthetic devices is that the vast majority of them are very costly, nearly 30 to 40 thousand dollars. When we talk about developed countries like the USA, the insurance companies in the USA reimburses about 3000 dollars. So these devices are available to only a handful of people living in the United States. But, it remains a significant problem in a country like India to get proper prosthetic care because of affordability. 

DISCOVER INALI'S BREAKTHROUGH INNOVATION

Inali Arms operates by detecting brain signals

Inali Arms is India’s most affordable bionic arm for the differently-abled. Unlike most prosthetics that are connected to muscle movements. 

This makes it more accurate as opposed to muscle movements which can easily be misjudged. Even for people with burns or body fat, or even simple sweating, the conventional prosthetic arms can run a risk of malfunction or zero detection of signals. It mimics technology similar to its imported counterparts, but with cost-effective alternatives.

INALI AND ITS STRONGLY SUPPORT FOR THE COVID19 CRISIS

Inali has designed and developed a smart ventilator in eight days using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and a collaborative approach with designers and healthcare professionals from the lab’s OPEN COVID-19 online community, as well as with engineering mentors from the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab in India.  

Using cloud-based digital applications, Inali engaged with this community of experts and innovators in real time – no matter their location – leveraging collective intelligence to rapidly design a 3D model of the smart ventilator, engineer it, simulate its function, and manufacture and validate a prototype. The smart ventilator was designed to identify performance metrics for parameters such as air velocity and air pressure that are needed to function, and adjust its operating parameters accordingly, as well as to identify the appropriate oxygen level for an individual patient and the safety metrics required for reliable and safe use.

INALI'S JOURNEY THROUGH THE 3DEXPERIENCE LAB

INALI have been involved in the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab program since 2019.

HOW DOES THE 3DEXPERIENCE LAB HELP INALI?

The 3DEXPERIENCE® platform has some of the most advanced tools that have helped us create designs of a bionic hand to mimic the action as close to an actual hand. This has eliminated a great deal of inaccuracy that otherwise is a peril of the design process.

We have managed to not just save time in designing and prototyping the hands with utmost accuracy but have also managed to come up with multiple design versions to suit different needs of upper limb disability. In a nutshell, we have achieved accuracy that has helped us speed up the process of design and then executing the design into a fully functional bionic arm.
