KalArm

Founded in 2018, Makers Hive is a technology company focused on delivering cutting-edge solutions to address real-world challenges. By targeting underserved communities, the company aims to bridge the gap between innovation and accessibility. 

Inspired by former President of India, Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, Makers Hive created KalArm – India’s first and the world’s most affordable fully functional bionic hand. KalArm sets a new benchmark in assistive technology, offering an unparalleled combination of advanced functionality and accessibility, transforming the lives of individuals with limb loss. 

Current bionic hands are often too expensive for most individuals with limb loss, limiting access to life-changing technology. KalArm overcomes this barrier by offering an advanced, affordable bionic hand, empowering users to regain independence and improve their quality of life. 

KalArm features 18 pre-defined grips, 6 customizable grips, and can lift up to 20 kg, offering versatility for daily tasks. It supports performance monitoring via a mobile app, over-the-air firmware updates, and customizable forearm fittings for optimal comfort and adaptability.
