We are truly delighted to see the success of Aether Biomedical, whose advanced bionic prosthesis Zeus won first place in a competition for Polish technologies organized by Instytut Lema with the support of Centrum Innowacji Uniwersytetu WSB Merito Warszawa.
This is a major distinction for Polish technological innovation and clear proof that solutions developed in our country can change people’s lives around the world.

This success is especially meaningful to us, as we had the privilege of contributing to this unique project by delivering a modern membrane keyboard that significantly improves the comfort of using the prosthesis. Thanks to our technology, users of Zeus gain even greater control over the device, which translates into more freedom and independence in everyday life.

What is the Zeus prosthesis?

The Zeus prosthesis represents a breakthrough in medical robotics. The device is controlled by nerve signals captured from the muscles of the residual limb, enabling precise movements that reflect natural hand functions.

Moreover, its advanced Soft Grip system automatically adjusts grip strength, preventing damage to delicate objects. The prosthesis has already been implemented by over 600 users worldwide and offers a solution that is around 60% more affordable than competing products.

What was Qwerty’s contribution to this exceptional project?

Our experience in designing membrane keyboards allowed us to develop a solution that not only meets rigorous technical requirements but, above all, responds to real user needs. The keyboard enables intuitive monitoring of prosthesis functions, including battery level and system diagnostics.

During the project, we focused on:

  • Durability and resistance – the keyboard was designed for intensive use in diverse conditions, ensuring reliable performance over many years.
  • Ergonomics and ease of use – an intuitive interface reduces the learning curve and makes everyday use of the prosthesis more comfortable.
  • Advanced protection technology – we implemented EMI/ESD shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference and electrostatic discharge.

Technology that truly changes lives

For us, the Zeus project is more than technology – it represents hope and new possibilities for people after limb loss. The prosthesis has also been delivered to Ukraine, where thousands of people have lost limbs as a result of the war. Polish technology is giving them a chance to return to active life, and we are proud to be part of this mission.

Our sincere congratulations to the entire Aether Biomedical team on this remarkable achievement. We would also like to thank our Qwerty team for their commitment and contribution to this innovative project. Together, we show that technology can truly make the world a better place.
