I am the Co-Founder of Ugani Prosthetics, a social enterprise with a very clear goal: to help the 35 million amputees in developing countries get a better life by facilitating access to low-cost prosthetics. To do so, the Ugani team has come up with a process which uses low-cost tools (like a 250 USD 3D scanner) and open-source software to make all kinds of prosthetics and orthotics. Not only are they up to 5 times cheaper, but the quality is European grade and the production time is up to 100x faster. This means many more patients can be helped with the same human and financial resources. Ugani does not make prosthetics but trains local specialists to use this innovative procedure, hence ensuring empowerment of the locals and a long-lasting positive impact on the community. I also run Prothea Kenya, which is a local P&O workshop that uses the 3D workflow from Ugani. Here we do make prostheses and orthoses and directly impact the life of our patients.About me: I look forward to connecting with people who want to make a difference and have a positive impact on different aspects of human development. I am passionate about (frugal) innovation, exploring the world and learning from other people, cultures and smart engineering. Before launching Ugani, I worked for 6 years in developing countries around the world in the context of renewable energy projects.
