Tendo develops a soft exoskeleton in the form of a robotic glove that helps users grip and release objects more easily. This glove is designed for individuals who may have physical disabilities or age-related challenges that affect their strength and dexterity. It operates using intelligent sensors that provide artificial strength, allowing users to perform tasks both at home and outside with greater independence. Unlike other assistive devices, Tendo's glove focuses on enhancing the functionality of one or two fingers, which makes it lightweight and practical for everyday use. The company stands out in the healthcare and assistive technology market by directly selling to consumers and partnering with healthcare providers, aiming to improve the quality of life for its users. Tendo's goal is to empower individuals by providing them with tools that enhance their daily activities and independence.
