Informing Clinical Care with Data: Humotech’s Next Chapter

Humotech was founded at the intersection of biomechanics research, wearable robotics engineering, and a dream to advance human mobility. Since our earliest days, we have been focused on providing a platform to support rigorous, data-driven experiments that help us better understand how people move and how assistive technologies like prosthetics, orthotics, and exoskeletons can enhance that movement.
Today, that work has advanced to the next chapter.
We’re introducing the Clinical Caplex® System, extending our work from the research lab and into clinical environments—supporting patients, prosthetists, and anyone weighing the effects of different prosthetic foot options with evidence to inform clinical care decision.
This transition reflects a broader shift in who we are as a company: an outcomes data partner for healthcare organizations making life-changing decisions.
Evidence in the Clinic
As Humotech’s technology moves into clinical care settings, we are expanding our commitment to excellence in everything that we do.
Supporting clinical care effectively requires more than a well-functioning technology platform. It requires timeliness, clarity, consistency, and trust.
Through over a decade of clinical research, we’ve carefully demonstrated that our core technology works. Now, through partnerships with clinicians and healthcare organizations we are demonstrating how the technology can be used to generate data that:
- Supports more evidence-based prosthetic foot selections
- Improves patients’ satisfaction with their prosthesis
- Contributes evidence to strengthen claims for reimbursement
We don’t assume this will be easy, but we are confident that we will be successful through collaboration and continuous self-improvement. Whether you’re a patient, clinician, or other expert—we’d love to work with you, gain your unique perspective, and learn what we could do better.
What Continues to Define Us
As we continue to evolve, several important shifts are taking shape:
- Our role is expanding from a research partner to a provider of clinical decision support technology.
- Our application is moving beyond controlled laboratory environments into real-world clinical care settings.
- Our impact is growing from accelerating innovation to helping inform patient-centered clinical decisions and outcomes.
But in many ways, we’re still the same:
- Committed to rigorous, science-driven methodology
- Focused on improving outcomes and quality of life for individuals
- Resolved that technology should serve people—not exist because it’s cool, or as a replacement for clinical expertise
A Word from our Founder & CEO
“Since building the first prosthetic foot emulator system with my bare hands 16 years ago, I have nurtured the idea that selecting a prosthetic foot should involve rapidly trialing and evaluating different options. Reflecting on all the time, effort, and passion that have gone into this work by an entire community of people—thank you so much to everyone who has supported this journey—I’m incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to help lead this endeavor, and it’s clear that the time is NOW. As we take these steps to implement our first clinical services offering, I hope you’ll join us in making the biggest impact possible for people with limb loss.”
