Aadeel Akhtar is a neuroscientist and electrical engineer. He is CEO and founder of the bionics company PSYONIC. In 2021, he was named one of MIT Technology Review’s 35 Innovators Under 35 and was featured in Newsweek’s “America's 50 Greatest Disruptors: Visionaries Who Are Changing the World.”

The company's first product, the Ability Hand, is the fastest bionic hand in the world with sensors that attach to the users’ remaining limb, allowing them to control the hand with their arm muscles. It is also the first hand on the market to give users touch feedback, so they can feel what sensors in the fingertips are experiencing, and it is covered by Medicare.

In early 2024, PSYONIC completed a $3.1 million crowdfunded equity raise and earned a $1 million offer on ABC's Shark Tank from Lori Greiner, Daymond John, and Kevin O’Leary. The company offers a research version of their bionic hand that is used by organizations like Apptronik, NASA, and Meta.
