“We are changing the world of sensing”: How TENGABLE aims to give back the sense of touch
In a world where touch is often taken for granted, TENGABLE is setting new standards. With its innovative triboelectric nanogenerator technology (TENG), the company is developing a novel implantable device that enables people, who have lost their sense of touch due to injury or illness, to return to a fulfilling life.
At the forefront of this groundbreaking project is TENGABLEs CEO Shai Feinsod, a highly experienced healthcare executive with over 25 years of experience in start-ups in the US and Israel. The company’s version: a maintenance-free, implantable solution that does not require an external power source and yet has the potential to change the lives of millions.
TENGABLE’s technology is based on a self-powered triboelectric nanogenerator that is implanted under the skin. When pressure is applied to the sensor, it generates an electrical signal that is transmitted via insulated cables to a stimulating cuff electrode wrapped around the nearest intact afferent nerve. This allows a „touch signal“ to be transmitted to the central nervous system.
In our exclusive interview, Shai Feinsod provides insights into the company, the revolutionary technology and the collaboration with CorTec.
