Description: The biosim-pro software is a technology that provides prosthetists and therapists with the ability to help their patients select the grip patterns and control settings for i-limb ultra-revolution, i-limb ultra, i-limb digits, i-limb access and virtu-limb devices. The biosim-pro software can be used to access usage information for Touch Bionics prostheses, which provides insight into how the patients are using the device, and can provide diagnostic information regarding the relative health of the prosthesis. The technology allows adjustments to be made to the electrode settings to optimize device performance. The technology connects to the device via a Bluetooth wireless connection.
