Why Bionics? Our Vision for a Bolder Future.
Whether due to disease, injury, or aging, mobility disabilities are all around us, impacting hundreds of millions globally. And yet, for generations the primary response has been to put our loved ones in wheelchairs, despite knowing how bad this can be for the individual’s physical and mental health.
As a nonprofit, we are taking a stand against this status quo and asking, “Is this really the best we can do?” Yes, wheelchairs may be cheap and easy, but is that what we really strive for?
Cheap and easy? Or do we aspire to do more to help others, to dream bigger, and to create a bolder future where everyone can enjoy the freedom of mobility that so many of us take for granted?
The truth is that no number of ramps and elevators will ever make the world fully wheelchair accessible. For people with lower-limb disabilities, bionics such as advanced prostheses, wearable robotics, and neurotechnology can set the body free and allow the spirit to soar. Let’s stop wishing and start doing. Let’s spark a new era of mobility tech and enable all of humanity to move on their own terms, not the terms of their disability.
