Do you know what the colours of the Disability Pride Flag stand for? ❤️ Red represents physical disabilities 💛 Yellow is for neurodiversity 🤍 White represents invisible and undiagnosed disabilities 💙 Blue stands for emotional and psychiatric disabilities, including mental illness, anxiety and depression 💚 Green is for sensory disabilities including deafness, and blindness 🖤 Black commemorates those we have lost to violence, neglect, ableism, and suicide. 🌹 Here's our round up of the month so far. Happy Disability Pride Month! https://lnkd.in/ejQb823q #disabilitypridemonth #limbdifference #community #disabilitytech

Turning disabilities into superpowers
About us
Open Bionics: Open Bionics is a prosthetics company developing affordable, assistive devices that enhance the human body. We've started by introducing the Hero Arm, a stylish multi-grip bionic arm. Current upper limb prostheses exist as hooks, grippers, or expensive bionic hands. We're on a mission to make beautiful bionic limbs more accessible. Aged 17, Joel Gibbard began tinkering with robotic hands. There was something about the movement of a disembodied humanoid hand that captured his imagination. Hundreds of prototypes and many crates of failures later, in 2014, Joel co-founded Open Bionics with Samantha Payne. With the help of an awesome team and the support of the limb different community, they’re pioneering a new bionic age inspired by science fiction. www.openbionics.com The Hero Arm: The Hero Arm is Open Bionics' first commercially available bionic limb. The Hero Arm is the most affordable multi-grip bionic arm ever, less than half the price of its nearest competitor. Each Hero Arm is custom-built, and for the first time ever is available for upper limb amputees as young as nine.
