Tidal

Personal Prosthetic Design Service

In an era where chronic health conditions contribute significantly to global health burdens, Assistive Technology (AT) is crucial to supporting independence and wellbeing. However, up to 70% of AT is reported to be prematurely abandoned. Tidal is a new approach to providing assistive technology to those with disability. It puts the user at the centre adopting a digital co creation platform between health care professional and end users to create personalised, more appropriate and effective solutions. These are then manufactured at distributed local 3D print manufacture centres and sent to users for review and use.
