WHY WE EXIST
I believe that we all stand to benefit from the development of technology that improves mobility. Some people are born with mobility challenges, others experience it through injury or disease, but ultimately through aging, we will all experience the loss of freedom that can arise when navigating a world built for bipedal locomotion. As an advanced and innovative society, we have both a moral and an economic imperative to leverage technology to enhance quality of life, increase productivity, and protect people from harm.
Humotech seeks to uplift innovators of all kinds, with the tools and the support necessary to unlock the next generation of wearable machines. Whether you have been chasing a breakthrough for years, or you’re new to this field, we’d love to provide the foundation for you to build upon. For too long, innovators have had to endlessly prototype towards mass-marketable products, only to realize the disconnect between biomechanical feasibility and the market’s appetite for the solution. Now, you can design, test, and then build with our platforms to generate the individualized data you need to unlock design insights and articulate the value of your concept.
Let’s work together to build a future where everyone can achieve their mobility goals!
