The first product is for the hand and allows a user to hold up to 40 kg’s of weight with their hands

NUADA is here to empower the everyday tasks of the weaker hands. We are talking about an orchestrated daily care that allows active people, who find themselves less resourceful, to regain autonomy and reconnect with the world around them. NUADA is bringing to the market an innovative hand function support system which uses thin, breathable, flexible and smart textiles to provide a light, non-intrusive, safe and small glove, to be used on an everyday basis.

We’re proud to share that NUADA participated in the ACRM - American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine 2025!

It was an incredible opportunity to showcase the NUADA Glove, our innovative solution to support hand function and independence. Dr. Rui Santos and Jeff Hiserman had the chance to present and discuss the results of our latest pilot study, highlighting the glove’s clinical potential and impact.

A big thank you to everyone who visited us, shared insights, and supported our vision.

We’re excited to keep building strong collaborations and expanding NUADA’s presence in the U.S.

🌍 Nuada at ACRM 2025 – Chicago, USA

We’re thrilled to share that Nuada will be at the ACRM - American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine Annual Conference 2025, one of the world’s largest and most prestigious gatherings in rehabilitation and healthcare innovation.

The Nuada Glove, our groundbreaking hand exoskeleton, will take center stage in a scientific session led by two distinguished experts:
👨‍⚕️ Dr. Rui Santos – Physiatrist, Fellow in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (European Union of Medical Specialists), Portugal
👨‍⚕️ Jeff Hiserman – Physical Therapist, CEO of Spectrum Ergonomics, USA

📌Presentation
A Pilot Study of an Innovative Hand Exoskeleton: Nuada Glove 2556
October 29th, 2025 | 8:00 – 9:00 AM

👉 At Nuada, we focus on technology that improves everyday function.
If you’re attending ACRM, we’d be glad to show you the Nuada Glove in action.

We’ve just shipped another batch of Nuada Gloves to the UK! 🇬🇧 This time, a kit with 4 sizes!

Our assistive technology was created to help people with reduced hand function — due to neurological, rheumatological, or muscular conditions — regain their ability to grip and hold everyday objects.

The glove is lightweight, discreet, and designed to support the hand without limiting natural movement.

We continue to expand internationally, with a focus on functionality, autonomy, and clinical impact.

🌟Had a blast hosting a workshop on exoskeletons! Grateful to NEB Núcleo de Estudantes de Bioengenharia - FEUP / ICBAS for the opportunity. It was an inspiring experience and we hope to have sparkled the imagination and fostered the curiosity of the next generation of innovators!

PS: we clearly understood the challenges of exoskeleton development! 😂

A Pilot Study of an Innovative Hand Exoskeleton: Nuada Glove

The Nuada Glove is a wearable exoskeleton robotic device designed to assist individuals with hand impairments or weakness. This device is manufactured under legal requirements and regulated at the European Union Member State level. The main innovation of this device is the actuation method, which enables the combination of the lightweight and ease of use of passive exoskeletons, and the power and adaptability of active exoskeletons. Active exoskeletons require heavy packs of motors to exert force on the anatomical structures of the user, thus their usefulness is limited to specific actions. On the other hand, passive exoskeletons are static devices with very specific functions, but they lack adaptability and provide limited gained function. The Nuada Glove is a hybrid approach. It consists of a mechanical system that locks each finger individually in the grasping position when patients hold objects of any size and shape. First, users encircle the objects either with or without assistance, and the mechanical system impedes them from opening their fingers, effectively enabling them to hold any object with their hands regardless of weakness or other impairment.
