First Ever Bionic Hand with Touch Sensors to Get Transplanted Later This Year

The technology of today has advanced so much that it can fulfill the deficiencies of human body and give a new life to someone suffering from natural tragedies such as not having a hand. Now it looks like we are going to leave that problem behind as a 20 year old man in Rome is going to get his hand back in the form of prosthetics.

The person getting the prosthetic hand will be the first person to have a bionic hand with working sense of touch. The bionic hand will be wired to person’s nervous system and will not only receive commands but also send signals containing info about what the hand is sensing. The user will be able to feel what the artificial hand is touching thanks to the new technology through the hand’s touch sensors.

The first ever prosthetic that will be able to provide user with real-time feedback for grasping.

This is real progress, real hope for amputees. It will be the first prosthetic that will provide real-time sensory feedback for grasping. It is clear that the more sensory feeling an amputee has, the more likely you will get full acceptance of that limb. We could be on the cusp of providing new and more effective clinical solutions to amputees in the next year.

This is not only a great news for the 20 year Roman guy who is getting the operating later this year but also for hundreds or thousands of others who are currently using the prosthetics on their bodies as they could also replace their current ones with this more advanced bionic hand.
