Psyonic was founded in 2015 by Dr Aadeel Akhtar, who was inspired as a child by meeting a girl with a limb difference in Pakistan. Originally based in Champaign, Illinois, the company moved its headquarters to San Diego, California, in 2022. Psyonic makes the Ability Hand — marketed as the world's fastest and first touch-sensing bionic hand, with vibration feedback that signals grip pressure back to the user.
