The PREMIERTOGO team recently attended the Smart Tools for Strong Lives Conference organised by INSPIRE Foundation.

At our stand, attendees had the opportunity to explore our smart prosthesis prototype, learn about our work, and engage with the team on how innovative, data-driven approaches can enhance prosthesis design and aftercare.

It was a great opportunity to connect with professionals, stakeholders, and the community, and to share our vision for smarter, more adaptive prosthetic solutions.

Thank you to everyone who visited us!

During the session, we showcased the latest PREMIERTOGO prosthetic and highlighted the work carried out over the past year and a half. The event provided an opportunity to share progress, demonstrate key developments, and engage directly with participants.

The session concluded with a focused evaluation workshop, where valuable feedback and insights were gathered. This exchange will play an important role in guiding the next stages of the project.

We would like to acknowledge the support of the Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering and Xjenza Malta, whose contributions continue to be instrumental to the advancement of the PREMIERTOGO project.

We’re pleased to announce an upcoming PREMIER2GO event taking place at the University of Malta on 20th March 2026.

This on-campus event will bring together students, researchers, industry stakeholders, and project collaborators to share insights, showcase progress, and discuss the next steps of the PREMIER2GO initiative.

Further details regarding the programme, speakers, and registration will be announced soon.

Save the date, we look forward to welcoming you.

On 2nd February 2026, a conference paper by PREMIERTOGO researcher Adrian Mercieca was officially accepted for presentation at the prestigious DESIGN 2026 Conference, taking place in Dubrovnik in May 2026. The paper presents Adrian’s MSc research, using the PREMIERTOGO project as a detailed case study to explore advancements in design methodology and human–AI co-design integration. This acceptance highlights both the academic strength of the research and the growing international recognition of the PREMIERTOGO initiative within the global design engineering community. 

On 27th January, the PREMIERTOGO team successfully completed the official design registration of the new PREMIER2GO prosthetic system. This updated model represents a significant evolution of the previous PREMIER design, with a strong emphasis on enhanced aesthetics, improved usability, and increased modularity. The registration marks an important milestone for the project, reinforcing its innovation credentials while ensuring the protection of its refined and user-centred design. 

On 2nd November, the initial prototype of the PREMIER2GO model was successfully manufactured using advanced 3D printing technologies. Following initial testing, the prototype performed exceptionally well, demonstrating clear functional and structural improvements over the previous PREMIER model. This milestone marked an important step forward in validating the updated design, confirming enhancements in performance, usability, and overall system integration.
