The journey of the SocketSense project through prestigious conferences and conventions continues. The next stop is the 24th Euromicro DSD/SEAA conference in Palermo this upcoming September (from the 1st to the 3rd) on Digital System Design (DSD). Since 1973, the Euromicro international organisation focuses on engineering, science, and education, aiming to advance the sectors of […]
Dear Colleague, Partner or Supporter As you know, the H2020 project SocketSense aims at developing an innovative prosthetic socket system with an integration of advanced sensing, data analysis, AI methods, embedded edge and cloud computing. The key cutting-edge is given by the support for an effective monitoring and assessment of dynamic operational conditions within prosthetic […]
Teesside University and South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based in Middlesbrough in the north-east of England, are pleased to state progress with the first in person clinical tests and trial to investigate the typical pressure pattern at the stump socket interface for optimal and sub-optimal above knee amputee prostheses, particularly in connection to the […]
The XXVIII Congress of the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB) will hold a virtual conference, the first one in its long history due to the COVID-19 pandemic, between the 25th-29th of July. The digital headquarters of this year’s five-day congress will be in Stockholm, Sweden. The conference will offer fertile ground for scientific lectures, educational […]
In this stage of the project, one of the main focuses is the development of a Decision Support System (DSS), led by TWI Hellas. This DSS outputs suggestions for rectification action to the prosthetist, aiming to improve the fitness of transfemoral prosthetic socket design. To accomplish this, we employ fuzzy-logic and rectification state-of-the-art algorithms that […]
A first fully integrated prototype of the SocketSense system was successfully trialled with a transfemoral amputee, at Össur, Iceland in January 2021. The trial took place under IRB approval, and in the presence of a certified prosthetist. The primary aim of the study was to verify the practicality of the SocketSense system in real-life application […]

QUANTUM MATERIALS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TOREVOLUTIONISE PROSTHETICS – QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY SUPERSENSORS Electronic devices are becoming increasingly pervasive in our everyday lives in an ever-increasingly connected world. Utilizing these new ‘smarter’ and multi-functional enviro-friendly Quantum Materials that harness control of quantum conduction mechanisms will enable significant generational advances for simplified and more economically viable sensingsolutions. Control […]
South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, based in Middlesbrough in the north-east of England, is one of two clinical partners who are involved in the SocketSense project, alongside Servicio Andaluz de Salud (SAS) in Seville, Spain. The Trust has been involved in many aspects of the project since the start in January 2019, but it […]
