Intersection of Engineering and Upper Extremity Prostheses with Bartosz Rajewski
07/12/23 • 57 min
Ever think about the complexities of creating a robotic hand? How about the balance between speed, weight, and durability? Well, you're about to. We sit down with our guest, Bartosz Rajewski, who introduces us to his creation, the V Bionic and the Tolka Hand. This hand isn't just a marvel of technology, it's a testament to the creativity and determination needed when navigating the intricate world of prosthetics and orthotics.
From the development of 3D printed prosthetic gloves to the exploration of remote delivery of prosthetic products, we cast a wide net over the vast potential of this industry. Bart's journey is not just about the creation of a device; it's about the adaptation of technology to meet the unique needs of each individual user. It's about the empowerment that comes with accessibility and the impact that can have on a person's life.
Yet, every rose has its thorn. We take a hard look at the challenges facing this industry. The struggle of sharing hard-earned knowledge, the uphill battle to educate others in the field, and the difficulties of being a pioneer in a rapidly evolving landscape. But as we discuss these obstacles, we also celebrate the incredible opportunities they present for growth, discovery, and innovation in the field of prosthetics and orthotics. So, pull up a chair, tune in, and prepare to be amazed at the intersection of technology and healthcare.Bartosz Rajewski is here, and he's pulling back the curtain on the future of prosthetics and orthotics. Buckle up.
