ETA Bioengineering

As part of the GlovETA project, funded by Regione Campania, a clinical usability evaluation was conducted at the Polo Specialistico Riabilitativo della Fondazione Don Gnocchi in Sant’Angelo dei Lombardi (AV).

A group of approximately 10 clinicians from the IRCCS participated in a demonstration of the device, carrying out functional assessments enabled by ETA’s glove-sleeve system. These included the analysis of wrist and hand kinematics, as well as the evaluation of electromyographic activity of the wrist and finger flexor-extensor muscles.

The session also included testing of the pneumatic exoskeleton for hand rehabilitation, providing useful insights into its usability and potential application in clinical practice.
Special thanks to Biagio Campana and all the clinicians and professionals involved for their valuable contribution!

ETA Bioengineering participated in the Design Business course led by Prof. Massimo Pettiti at NABA Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti as a startup case study.
It was interesting to see Product Design students approach the business challenges of augmented wearable technologies with a fresh and intuitive perspective. Their projects combined solid analysis with original insights, demonstrating a keen sensitivity to the complexity of data-driven business models, competitive positioning, and go-to-market strategies.
A valuable exchange on increasingly central topics with young generations who will contribute shaping the future of design and innovation.
Thank you to Prof. Pettiti and all the students for this engaging and insightful dialogue!

Il 14 ottobre 2025 abbiamo condotto un test di usabilità presso Azienda USL di Ferrara insieme ai fisiatri e fisioterapisti del gruppo di ricerca della Dott.ssa Sofia Straudi, per valutare le soluzioni hardware e software sviluppate all’interno del progetto 𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗘, finanziato da Ecosister.

Il progetto ha previsto la scansione 3D dell’avambraccio 🖐️ per la ricostruzione digitale, realizzata da BeyondShape e lo sviluppo di un esoscheletro soft 🤖, composto da un gu**to 🧤 e un manicotto e dotati di sensori e attuatori, progettati per la valutazione funzionale 📊 e la definizione di protocolli riabilitativi personalizzati.

Un ringraziamento speciale al team, agli organizzatori e ai partner che hanno reso possibile questo importante passo avanti nella riabilitazione tecnologica! 💡
