“ We at Esper have created the hand prosthesis Esper Hand that not only allows amputees to perform most everyday tasks — from cutting an apple to applying makeup — but can be customised to the individual needs of the user , predict the user ’ s behaviour and move intuitively . The more you use it , the better at understanding your intentions it gets . That ’ s a big step forward ,” he enthuses .
Gazda believes that his company is truly unique as it is the “ only company focused on the ‘ brain ’ of the prosthesis , its improvement over time , and its development alongside users . Imagine if your hand could upgrade over time to match your personality , tastes , wardrobe , skillset , and career .”
The Esper Hand is much more functional , with up to 3x faster control than other hand prostheses available on the market .
“ It is also beautifully designed after a human hand . In June 2022 , the hand won the Best of the Best Award 2022 in Product Design from Red Dot , one of the biggest design competitions in the world ,” notes Gazda .
Currently , Esper Bionics is focused primarily on the US hand prostheses market , and its goal is to make Esper Hand the most popular hand prosthesis in the US . Once it has achieved this goal , the company plans to expand into the EU and several other markets , develop prostheses for other parts of the arm , partner with other prostheses
vendors to enhance their devices and cooperate with the developers of electronic implants .
The company has three debut products : The Esper Hand , a bionic self-learning hand prosthesis ; Esper Control , a non-invasive wearable brain-computer interface ; and Esper Platform , a cloud-based software solution to individualise the control of wearables .
