Co-Founder of MakerHealth, the parent organization to the MakerNurse program. At MakerHealth, we believe everyone can be a medical maker. In a world where health care technology is increasingly black boxed, and unaffordable, we found a stealth community of innovators working around the clock to make health better, by making their own devices to make us better.The MakerNurse community and curriculum are part of the MakerHealth family. MakerNurses are the problem solvers and patient advocates who live and work in the heart of our healthcare system. MakerNurses recognize the opportunity for better patient care through improved technology or new design.www.makerhealth.cowww.makernurse.com
