Kawatek K.K.

Kawatek K.K. is dedicated to improving the living conditions of people around the world with disabilities and limited access to technology.

Currently, 15% of the world's population has a disability and only 1% of them have access to advanced medical technology. To address this challenge, we are working in three areas: bionics, rehabilitation, and human augmentation.

In the bionics area, we develop and provide smart, affordable bionic systems. Incorporating state-of-the-art bionic technology, AI-integrated prosthetic hands receive signals from the patient's brain and enable fine movements in a natural way.
The AI learns each time the patient uses the prosthetic hand, thereby learning to adapt the movements to the patient's features and needs.

In the rehabilitation field, the goal is to reduce costs, risks, and treatment time for patients.
We propose movements and actions that are appropriate for the patient's rehabilitation, so they reduce time, cost, and risk compared to conventional rehabilitation.

In the field of human augmentation, we are developing systems that augment human functions by utilizing biotechnology.
An example is a non-invasive artificial vision device (artificial eye). This could help blind patients regain light and expand their vision.
