One paragraph
ReAble Labs is an Irish company, based in Dublin and Cork, that builds hands. Its first product is Diego, a powered prosthetic hand with a target price of €5,000, put together so that the parts that break are cheap to replace and can be swapped at home or in a clinic. The hand can feel what it holds. Over time, with the wearer's consent, that will help robotics teams teach robots to grip, and the income from it will bring the price of the hand down. ReAble Labs won the Hult Prize Irish National Final in 2026 and was selected for the Hult Prize Global Accelerator, one of 21 teams from roughly 18,000. Diego is pre-clinical and not yet available to patients.
