Prosthetic Fitting Guide for Amputees Part 2: How the Aether Digital Platform (ADP) Supports Better Bionic Hand Training

Fitting a Zeus hand after limb loss is only the beginning—the real work starts when a user begins learning how to live with it. We understand that true success is measured not just by a device’s capabilities, but by how seamlessly it fits into everyday life. That’s why we created the Aether Digital Platform (ADP): to help users get the most from their Zeus bionic hand and give clinicians powerful tools to support that journey, no matter where it takes place. For more information on when to start prosthetic fitting for best outcomes, check out Part 1 of this series right here.

Why ADP Matters

Building new skills takes time, support, and consistent practice. While many Zeus users begin by focusing on a few grips, the goal is for them to be able to use every possible function of the hand that makes sense for their lives. 

Traditionally, adjusting a bionic hand to meet a user's evolving needs required multiple clinic visits. These appointments were often time-consuming, expensive, and hard to schedule, making it harder for users to keep improving.

The Aether Digital Platform changes this. With ADP, users can fine-tune their prosthesis from anywhere and clinicians can offer remote support, helping users keep momentum and stay motivated throughout their rehabilitation.

How the Aether Digital Platform Helps

Patient History 

With Zeus and ADP, clinicians can view the entire configuration history of a user’s device. This record makes it easy to understand what settings worked best and to adjust them over time for better results.

Remote Configuration 

Small adjustments no longer require an office visit. By using ADP, clinicians can connect remotely and make changes to Zeus as needed. This saves time for everyone and helps users get back to their lives faster.

Patient Autonomy 

Users can manage their prosthesis settings through the mobile ADP app. Within safe limits set by their clinician, they can fine-tune grip strength, responsiveness, and other functions—all from the comfort of home.

Data-Driven Care 

ADP tracks important information like grip cycles, EMG peaks, and grip changes. This data helps clinicians make smarter, faster decisions about care, leading to better outcomes.

The Bigger Impact 

By giving users control and clinicians the tools to support them remotely, ADP makes prosthetic training more flexible, personal, and effective. As a result, more users stick with their prosthesis, build real skill, and regain more independence in daily life.

 

The path to mastering a bionic hand should be empowering, not overwhelming. The Aether Digital Platform bridges the gap between clinic and daily life, offering real-time support, smarter data, and personalized control. With ADP, users stay motivated, clinicians stay connected, and progress becomes more sustainable. It’s not just about better technology—it’s about better outcomes.
