The article considers the impact of modern biotechnologies on the process of designing prostheses using industrial design tools. The design and functional features of bionic prostheses are outlined, modern control and sensory feedback technologies in bionic prostheses are analyzed to determine their impact on functionality and user experience. Attention is paid to innovative materials and new design solutions that allow reducing weight, increasing comfort and aesthetic appeal of prostheses. The influence of aesthetic parameters on the perception and use of prostheses among different groups of users is revealed, taking into account psychological and social aspects. Conceptual approaches to designing bionic prostheses are defined, which are based on a combination of a high level of functionality and individualized aesthetics. Purpose. To investigate and substantiate the integration of bionic innovations into the design of prostheses, which will ensure an increase in the quality of life of users and promote their social integration, which is associated with the growth of social consciousness. Methodology. Analytical, sociocultural, structural approaches, as well as theoretical research methods were applied. Results. The main aspects and approaches of industrial design of bio-prostheses were determined. The relationship between the development of society, technological progress and the means and principles of modern design was revealed. Scientific novelty. The expected results include the creation of a comprehensive model of integration of bionic technologies into the design of prostheses, which will allow to increase their functionality, comfort and visual appeal. Practical relevance. The results of the study can be used by teachers of art education institutions specializing in “Industrial Design” in the educational process for the development of methodological documentation and the formulation of practical tasks.
