HKK Bionics GmbH, a spin-off of the Ulm University of Applied Science, was founded in May 2017 by medical engineers Dominik Hepp and Tobias Knobloch in Ulm, Germany. The founders' background in medical engineering provided a strong foundation for the company's mission to develop assistive technologies.
The company operates in the healthcare industry, focusing on the design, development, and commercialization of active bionic orthoses. Its primary clients are individuals with motor impairments, specifically those with paralyzed hands. The business model is centered on the sale of its flagship product, the exomotion® HAND/ONE, a motorized hand orthosis. This device is engineered to restore gripping function for users, thereby promoting greater independence in daily activities. The product integrates advanced technologies with traditional orthopedic craftsmanship to create a high-tech assistive device.
