About

Sebastian Cruzado is a biomedical engineer whose research centers on the development of accessible, human-centered prosthetic technologies. His most notable contribution is the SCOMA Prosthetic Hand, a robotic hand designed to restore a significant range of daily activities for amputees. Beyond functional restoration, Cruzado’s work uniquely emphasizes the psychological well-being of patients, aiming to improve their mental health alongside physical capability. This dual focus addresses a critical gap in prosthetic design, where emotional and social reintegration are often overlooked. While his work has garnered initial citations, its true impact lies in its potential to address the growing global need for affordable and psychologically supportive prosthetics, particularly given the annual increase of 150,000 amputees worldwide. Cruzado’s research represents a compassionate, holistic approach to rehabilitation, positioning him as a rising voice in the field of assistive robotics and patient-centered design.
