Smart Joints




Human Augmentation

Smart Joints


What are joint extensions?
Implants added to the knees , back, shoulders, ankles, hips and other common problem area joints that ease movement which insures longevity. These implants are both internal and external to the body. These implants may also be manual controlled with external remote for those whom have stiff muscles.

What are they made of?
The implants are made from titanium, allowing cohesion with the body and unparalleled, long-lasting durability. Computers are build into the implants to allow remote movement. Both natural and remote movement are a breeze with this material.

Do I qualify for this technology?
Potential clients will range from patients whom have existing joint wear and damage to patient whom are looking for preventative measures to ensure longevity in joints. Unfortunately patients whom decide to use this technology for preemptive means may be faced with rejection to insurance claims.

What are the risks?
These implants have not been tested with high speed force accidents such as a car crash. However, much of them act as braces. Computer malfunction has only occurred in 2% of the sample patients.

Where can I have these installed?
The availability of this technology is universal. Most major augmentation clinics have all types of “smart joints” on hand. This technology may also be applied to your already existing engineered parts.


We do not recommend purchasing these devices on any market other than the national healthcare system. Without professional medical assistance improper installation can lead to fracture, damage of organic body parts and in many cases, death.

^ The knee and hip are major joints that succumb to wear and aging.


This is an example of an implant. The implant is capable of creating a life-long joint which does not wear. The secondary function is the remote device implanted within. Patients can keep their muscles loose by controlling movement of the smart joint.

  1. Body Augmentation Critique:
    Great work Phillip! The close-ups of the joints and tendons are clear and direct in purpose and function. This project immediately made me think about the TED video of the MIT Professor who lost both of his legs while climbing. This is definitely a feasible idea, and I could imagine these types of body augmentations happening right now.
    For the next time I would suggest cropping the photo a little bit more and perhaps to somehow make the metal piece look more like it is a part of the body. Other than that I think you did a nice job!
