Abstract

Despite technological and medical advances, amputations continue to increase. Amputees face significant challenges when acquiring and using prosthetic devices, challenges which are made worse as their emotional needs, aspirations, mobility, prosthesis requirements and problems change over time. These challenges require custom solutions for each individual amputee, a fact that current amputee centered prosthesis services tend to ignore. The work reported in this paper contributes an AI based Prosthesis Development Service Framework to cater for the current and evolving needs of amputees.
