Humotech

Humotech has been granted a patent for a prosthesis and orthosis testing system (US12616591B1).

The work began in 2020, when Josh Caputo, Matty Major, and Tianyao Chen set out to address a common challenge: meaningful device testing is often limited to specialized labs, with little transparency.

Their goal was a testing approach that’s more accessible and lower cost—so engineers, researchers, and clinicians can better understand device performance, including closer to the point of care.

With support from a 2024 VA effort, that early concept has continued to move forward.

This patent marks an important step toward more practical and transparent device testing.
