Human Centered Prosthesis

As our senior project at San Jose State University, we worked on teams to develop the future of child prosthesis in Colombia.  Focused on the economic and social impact.

SJSU + Colombia

Working with a local clinic in Medellin we gathered feedback and information relevant to the region.  Conducting research we found that landmines, snake bites and vehicular accidents are the leading causes of amputation among children in Colombia.
