Huple 2.0
The National Research, Development and Innovation Office has qualified the application submitted by APPSTERS Ltd. for the SME START application, which aimed at further developing the design and manufacturing technology of HUPLE, thereby helping to broaden the usability of HUPLE, revise its manufacturability and develop special accessories related to it. The HUPLE innovation received a non-refundable grant of HUF 20,000,000.
The objectives of the competition, which were integral to the development of HUPLE's product, were achieved. During the project, the product identity of HUPLE was developed, and after the design and product design, prototyping and testing tasks were implemented. As a result, this successful product was rethought, with particular attention to its wider applicability. The manufacturability of the product was also reviewed, and its production optimization represents an important step forward in terms of domestic and international packaging, stackability, transportability and storage.
HUPLE can now open up to a new customer audience thanks to the new, special functions developed within the project, the new „add-ons”, i.e. accessories that broaden the usability of HUPLE. This includes, among others, the Bluetooth and gyroscope accessories, which, with the help of the digital space, can even remotely analyze data to provide customers with feedback that enables the application of HUPLE in new areas and its more objective and more effective use - verifiable through data analysis. This special medical device thus becomes a playful developmental, directive and non-directive movement therapy tool for many children, young people and adults, even the elderly.
