What Adapttech does

Adapttech is a UK-based biomedical company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Birmingham, specialising in smart prosthetics technology for lower-limb amputees. The company's flagship product, the INSIGHT system, is an FDA-approved smart prosthetic platform that uses wearable technology and sensor-based monitoring to improve prosthetic fitting accuracy and patient rehabilitation outcomes. Under the Amparo brand (legal entity: Amparo Prosthetics Ltd), the company has expanded its portfolio to include the Confidence Socket and Resilience Socket product lines, Majicast weight-bearing shape capture technology, suspension units, fitting tools, and the Motio Functional Report — an activity reporting service that uses wearable devices worn by prosthetic users to generate longitudinal activity data for O&P clinics and insurance companies.

The company generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of prosthetic sockets and related products, targeting enterprise customers including prosthetics and orthotics (O&P) clinics, orthopedic technicians, insurance companies, and individual amputees. Distribution is conducted via direct enterprise field sales to clinics, with stated plans to expand globally following FDA approval. Adapttech has raised approximately £7.3 million across three funding rounds (2016, 2021, April 2022), with the most recent £2.25 million round led by Mercia Asset Management alongside ACF Investors, Wren Capital, and WealthClub. The company operates with 11-50 employees under a leadership team including founder and CEO Frederico Carpinteiro, chairman Stuart Mead, chief design officer Diogo Lopes, and chief operating officer Roland Neal. The business is positioned in the early commercial phase, having secured US market access through regulatory clearance and now executing on international expansion.
