Tendo - For people, not symptoms

Tendo is a Swedish startup founded in 2016 and based in Lund, Sweden. The company develops innovative physical assistive devices designed to help people with disabilities regain independence while maintaining their self-image. Its flagship product is a soft robotic exoskeleton glove that enhances grip strength through the use of soft artificial tendons and smart sensors. These sensors assist users by detecting when they are about to grasp an object and applying the necessary strength for gripping, holding, and releasing. Tendo's product primarily targets individuals facing challenges in daily activities due to conditions like stroke or spinal cord injury, as well as those experiencing age-related grip weakness. The company emphasizes a user-centered approach, focusing on improving quality of life rather than just addressing medical symptoms. With a small team of about seven people, Tendo operates within innovation hubs that support hardware and robotics development, positioning itself as a leader in wearable assistive technology.
