A comprehensive tool that allows a surgeons to safely extract hair follicles, without damaging the collected hairs or leaving noticeable scars on the patient’s skin. We were tasked to develop a controller to improve the handling of the motor system used for these extractions.
Hair loss is something almost half of all people face at some point. Although the first transplant was performed about 8 decades ago, performing these surgeries is still a very delicate and labour intensive process. Doctor Jean Devroye is an awarded expert in the field of hair transplantations, drawing on his extensive experience he conceptualized a significant improvement for the extraction process.
Until recently there was no comprehensive tool that allowed a surgeon to safely extract hair follicles without damaging the collected hairs or leaving noticeable scars on the patient’s skin. Devroye’s system not only addresses these pain points, it enables the practitioners to enhance the success rate of their operations. We were tasked to develop a controller to improve the handling of the motor system used for these extractions.
