Softletics develops an affordable, self-adjustable prosthetic socket to solve everyday comfort and fit issues, benefiting people with limb differences. We have developed and tested a functional prototype of an upper-limb prosthetic socket that is self-adjustable, breathable, and low-cost.

We conducted user testing with people with limb differences to validate comfort, usability, and fit. Based on feedback, we iterated the design and defined a clear product roadmap.

Our main goal is to bring Softletics to market as a certified, accessible prosthetic solution that significantly improves daily comfort and independence.

Softletics started as a master’s thesis, working closely with one prosthetic user to address real-world comfort and fit challenges. The team later formed around biomedical engineers, including members from ETH, united by the goal of creating a scalable, user-centered prosthetic socket.
