Cockpit for PC

Cockpit belongs to a narrow category of medical-device apps that demand reliable, hands-free monitoring and adjustment. Running Cockpit on a desktop or laptop lets you manage your Ottobock prosthesis or orthosis component settings alongside other open windows, check battery status without reaching for your phone, and keep detailed activity logs visible on a full-sized display for easier reference during your day.

Cockpit is a companion app for compatible Ottobock prosthetic feet and orthotic joints. It bridges the gap between your device's built-in capabilities and your daily routine by centralizing control, status checks, and mode switching under one roof. Running Cockpit for Windows PC or another desktop platform gives you the flexibility to access your component's data from a stationary setup where you can review settings without interruption.

Switching Modes and Monitoring Real-Time Status

The core workflow in Cockpit revolves around selecting preconfigured activity modes (such as cycling or standing in flexion) and checking your component's charge level and system feedback in real time. Because modes and their available parameters vary by component model, your prosthetist or orthotist configures which options appear in your app. You can read the current charge status, view step counts, and see when your next service date arrives. Installing Cockpit on a computer keeps this information persistent and easy to glance at during your session or rest at home.

Component Customization Within Your Limits

The app's adjustment scope depends on your specific Ottobock component and how your O&P professional has set it up. You may be able to fine-tune certain parameters, toggle additional functions, manually set heel height on compatible Meridium prosthetic feet, and adjust acoustic signals. Users report that mode switching itself is straightforward, though the range of customization available through the app alone remains limited compared to what happens during your appointment with your prosthetist. The settings you see are intentionally restricted for safety: deeper modifications stay with your care provider.

Managing Multiple Components and Session Continuity

• Switch easily between different saved prosthetic or orthotic components in your profile
• Reset and read your pedometer data to track daily step activity
• View service reminders so you know when your device needs maintenance
• Check battery status at a glance without reaching for your phone
• Access all component information in one signed-in session on your desktop
• Maintain activity history and charge logs for reference across multiple days

Compatibility and Setup With Your Device

Cockpit works with a defined set of Ottobock components, including C-Leg, Genium, Genium X3, Meridium, and C-Brace joint units: provided they carry compatible version numbers listed in the app documentation. Your component's version appears on the cover page of its instruction manual. When you install Cockpit on PC, you'll need to verify that your device matches one of these supported models before setup. If connection issues arise or your component's features don't appear as expected, contact your prosthetist or the Cockpit support address to confirm compatibility and troubleshoot pairing.
