Develop assistive devices for people with spinal cord injuries

1.5 million Indians live with Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI) — and approximately 20,000 new cases are added every year. Of this number, up to 70% of them belong to economically disadvantaged backgrounds. According to WHO, these injuries are associated with debilitating, and sometimes life-threatening secondary conditions. Can you design affordable and effective assistive devices for patients with SCI?

 

How Might We enable people from the rural areas who have recently recovered from a spinal cord injury to seek post-injury healthcare?
