Tunisian Startup Revolutionizes Prosthetics with AI-Powered Bionic Limbs

Israa Farhan A Tunisian medtech startup based in the coastal city of Sousse is transforming the future of prosthetics by developing lightweight, AI-powered bionic arms that combine cutting-edge engineering with affordability. Founded in early 2020 by engineer Mohamed Dhaouafi, Cure Bionics produces 3D-printed prosthetic limbs controlled by muscle signals through advanced electromyography (EMG) sensors. The company's mission is to make high-quality prosthetics accessible, particularly for children, at a fraction of the cost of imported alternatives. Dhaouafi said the idea was born during his studies at the National Engineering School of Sousse, when a student competition led to a life-changing project. A teammate's relative was born with a congenital limb difference but could not afford a prosthetic until she was 20, and even then, the options were prohibitively expensive or unavailable locally. This inspired the team to design affordable, high-performance bionic limbs and rehabilitation solutions. Unlike traditional prosthetics, which can cost up to 50,000 US dollars and take months to manufacture, Cure Bionics' arm prostheses are ready within a week and priced around 8,000 US dollars. Intensive care medicine professor Amine Allah Massadi from the University of Tunis notes that these bionic limbs deliver advanced technical performance at 50% or more below the cost of comparable foreign products. Inside the company's lab, engineers scan patient limbs using the Myo Finder device, which reads EMG signals in real time. Users, like Yassine Jarsa, train via the Myo Link mobile app, which simulates bionic hand control in 2D before fitting the actual device. The company's flagship prosthetic arm, named Hannibal, offers a suite of features tailored to amputees' needs. It includes a rotating wrist joint, an adjustable socket, magnetic charging to eliminate battery removal, and tactile feedback for partial sensation restoration. With a simple mode-switch button, users can alternate between assistive and automatic functions, lock movement, and even feel vibrations that simulate touch. read more UAE's Lunar Mission Delayed to Tomorrow Twitter Lifts Trump's Account Ban Scientists Find Evidence Of 10،000 Black Holes Surrounding The Center Of The Milky Way Galaxy Greenhouse In Antarctica Able To Grow Vegetables Without Soil Or Sunlight Moving Over China: U.S. Is Again Home to World's Speediest Supercomputer Technology The 10 most expensive cars in the world Technology Top 10 fastest cars in the world Technology Lasers Could Make Computers 1 Million Times Faster Technology Smart technology taking control of our lives Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani
