SPECIAL NEEDS ADAPTIVE SEATING SYSTEMS

Aiming to provide affordable seating systems for special needs, we designed a unique adaptive seating system that leans on clinical praxis, and we developed a cutting-edge manufacturing platform based on 3D-Printing and parametric design.


According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and other studies, improper sitting is one of the leading causes of premature mortality, developmental delay, a significant cause of physical illness that impairs quality of life through the impaired blood supply, muscle weakness, and spinal injury.


Adaptive seating systems are very expensive in general, moreover for infants and children due to intensive experts labor that required. Therefore, there is no custom solution for children with disabilities following fast growth and body development. According to WHO, today, only 1 in 10 people in need have access to assistive technology due to high costs and a lack of awareness, availability, trained personnel, policy, and financing.



COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES


CUTTING-EDGE MANUFACTURING PLATFORM - Rapid and high-quality, R&D and manufacturing platform, without the need of expensive tooling. Making an affordable seating system with a short and simple supply chain having minimum human labour, delivering the product in few days . *compering to few mouth in traditional methods.


UNIQUE PRODUCT DESIGN - First-ever fully customizable 3D-Printed adaptive seating system that developed and used by the leading Israel rehabilitation centers. Multifunctional, lightweight and portable seating system turns almost any chair and sitting on the floor, into an orthopedic and anatomical seat.


POTENTIAL GROW - testa’s manufacturing methodology is able to adapt the product to new markets as the ergonomic and office chairs market, which is significantly growing and should reach $17 billion in 2026, Furthermore testa is able to develop new products as Orthosis, AFO, Corsets, etc using the same manufacturing platform.


VALUE PROPOSITION


PREVENTIVE CARE - Reducing damage caused by improper seating in early stage, improving infant mental and cognitive development, potential saving on future health care.


SOCIAL IMPACT - Better access to assistive technology due to affordable costs.


ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT - On-demand, local manufacturing, using local and recycled materials, producing low carbon impact.
