Soft Wearable Exoskeleton for Assisted Feeding

NOURA Feeding Assist is a soft wearable exoskeleton designed to help individuals with limited upper-limb mobility feed themselves using their own hand. Through a lightweight textile-based wearable, external actuation unit and adaptive wireless controller, NOURA assists with elbow and shoulder movements that allow users to control their own feeding experience. Designed with comfort, discretion and ease of use in mind, NOURA aims to promote dignity, independence and social participation during everyday mealtimes.
