At Adapttech, we love technology. We see it as a medium to express our desire to help people with mobility problems, and to make a positive impact on their lives by helping them cope with their issues.

The Adapttech team had the pleasure of interviewing Drew Buffat, Director of Prosthetics of one of our partner clinics in the US - De La Torre Orthotics & Prosthetics.

In this week's blog post, the Adapttech team interviewed Pedro Maia, an orthoprosthetist who participates and helps in some of the company's projects, to learn more about his opinion in relation to the new technologies that appear in the O&P market.

Storybook is a UI component development tool that allows you to build isolated components while the storybook setup takes care of their organization and visualization.

Recently, on “How INSIGHT Wearable unlocks the full power of a pressure map”, we showed you our first INSIGHT App prototype. At that point in time, we would only collect pressure data and the Wearable had a very simple design: a white box with connectors for the Sensors and a simple power switch. A VELCRO adhesive in its back was used to attach it to the socket’s outer surface.

Back when the first INSIGHT™ prototypes started producing pressure maps, we and our partner prosthetists were faced with the challenge of understanding exactly what was upon us. Mario, one of our co-founders, used to say that we were in this curious situation somewhat analogue to having all the technology required for radiology, but no radiologists to make sense of it.

Designing an innovative product is all about striking a balance between technological novelty and solidarity with the traditional dynamics and workflows of the industry. Most of the times, it is not a matter of asking Can we?, but rather Should we?
