I'm an physician who previously had wrist tendinosis and carpal tunnel and made the keyboard for myself. I'm trying to get the keyboard registered as a medical device for treatment of hand/wrist repetitive strain injury. Currently getting design for manufacturing finalized, and waiting on injection mold prototypes. Hoping to launch on Kickstarter in the next few months.
Also concurrently waiting on ethics approval for a clinical study, which will happen after launch. We had quite promising results from user testing, so I'm cautiously optimistic about the study.

I get prompted to enter a 6-digit code that was sent to my email, but I only receive an email with a link to localhost.
Otherwise, looks cool!
For a competitive split concave keyboard, see Kinesis Advantage 360 keyboards at https://kinesis-ergo.com.
(I use the Advantage II with a trackpad in the middle (i.e., the split would be a problem ergonomically because it forces more movement to use the mouse).)
