This may be one of the most important episodes we have done. We discuss the myriad of options when it comes to providing access to prostheses worldwide. This episode doesn't stop at global access, we dive headfirst into the challenges and unique opportunities in bringing prosthetics to developing countries. We explore how technology is shaping the future of prosthesis, discussing the innovative use of online information exchange, 3D printing, and even thrilling stories of successful remote fittings with a doctor from India and a prosthetist in the US.
As we charge into the future of prosthetics and orthotics, we get real about the idea of a "library" of prosthetics, repurposing old prosthetics for new users, and the potential for DIY prosthetics through 3D scanning technology. We also address the crucial need for collaboration and communication within the industry, balancing commercial and humanitarian efforts, and the potential solutions in providing prosthetic devices in developing countries. This episode is not just about information, it's about inspiration, advancements, and the betterment of lives through access of prosthetic care.
