5 Years ago I started trying to create a bionic hand... I started out with small projects and moved on to more complex ones. After about a year, I had a basic understanding of the technology and tried to create my own bionic hand. My college team and I found an open source design and modified it so that amputees could use it. In total, this only cost $600 and we ended up winning our college design competition. But I didn't know what to do after this... Until I met Army Ranger Ryan Davis. After Meeting Ryan, this wasn't just a project anymore. In 2020 I created a company to make prosthetic devices more affordable. In 2021 We went through 34 Prototype Iterations. In 2022 we went through 25 more and in 2023 In partnership with Ukraine... Research & Development finally concluded. Now in 2024 We have officially built the world's most affordable Bionic Hand. And in May 2024... Amputee Trials Have Finally Begun. And We Are Expecting To Release Our Hand Before The End of the Year. Alt-Bionics. Thank you, TikTok.
