    The Future is Now: Part 2 of 5
    2025/04/09
    Limb Loss Awareness Month MIT: John McCollough John is a student at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts working towards his Masters and PhD in Medical Engineering. I met him a year and half ago when he reached out to see if I was interested in coming to MIT for a Gait Study that he was assisting a student working toward his PhD. Of course I said Yes! This is what it looks like when you agree to a gait study! Now as time has flown by I have gone back to check on John's progress in the field of Biomechatronics, stayed connected with those in the lab and couldn't wait to have him on the podcast. Once in the media Lab building you can see prototypes, unique sculptures, and their purpose and mission. However, a quick disclaimer, some of the work being done in the MIT Media Lab, like other universities, is private and not up for discussion as they are still in the works of their projects in a very competitive field, but the topics we discuss today are amazing, eye-opening and incredibly groundbreaking and I can not wait for you all to hear what's on the cusp of becoming products and procedures available to the amputee community! John working on the project I took part in last year. Let's jump right into our conversation on the work being done with 3D printing, Oesteointegration, AMI procedure, and how students and university create, trademark, and market their designs and how long this process can take. Once again, I am blown away at the desires of these young men and women to create a better world for our amputee community. The future is looking so good and positive for us and I truly want these students to be seen for their hardwork and dedication to a community they are feeling led to assist. We are extremely blessed with what the future holds and I believe that the next 5, 10, 20 years we will see the struggles of amputees today become minimal if not obsolete, making our lives stronger, healthier, and physically complete. Join me this week as John and I discuss all things on the drawing board and please don't forget to Like, Share, and Subscribe so you don't miss any of these university students' conversations about the future of prosthetics. John McCollough MIT Masters student Mechanical Engineering John, thank you for spending time we me on the podcast and sharing so eloquently the field of study you are in, breaking down the process so we could understand the stages of a study, and for sharing the work that could be shared. I look forward to having you on again as you complete your Masters and PhD. Thanks for joining us and I hope you have a beautiful week ahead! And as always, until next time, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!! Much love,

    Limb Loss Awareness Month 2025 Colorado State University: MediFlex Prosthetics LLC CSU MediFlex Prosthetics team Here we are again for the month of April and bringing awareness to the Limb Loss/Limb Difference community. Every year, in the month of April, I shift gears on my podcast and create a theme centered on the amputee community and interview people versus talking from my personal experience. Each year I have met some amazing people from doctors, to athletes, to innovators and entrepreneurs. This year I am excited to announce the future of our community, students! Each of the 5 weeks of April I have students, of varying levels of their education, from all across our nation, talking about what they are studying, inventing, building, and perfecting in the prosthetic world. We have undergraduates to PhD students, all of whom are spending their college careers, and life after, making our community a better place by creating the next generation of products meant to allow us to live fuller lives as amputees. Today, I am excited to introduce Garrison Hayes and Eric Gutierrez-Camacho, two of the five student team from Colorado State University, they are the founders of MediFlex Prosthetics LLC and their creation is part of their senior project at CSU. The work they do focuses primarily around 3D printed feet modules for amputees, both above knee and below knee. Their idea, which I will allow them to explain, is a tough, indestructible foot that allows for more energy return to the user. This could be life changing, not to mention energy saving! So many of us already struggle with moving around for long periods of time due to fit or phantom pains, but we also deal with exhaustion due to a loss of energy as our foot hits the ground, giving nothing back. Internal carbon fiber skeleton of foot 3D printed foot shell that is built in sections for ease of replacing portion that might wear down over time Garrison, a lead in the creation of this foot, is also an amputee. He has been able to trial each prototype and give instant feedback from an amputee's true perspective. A vital component when making a new prosthesis before marketing it. This team of students has created an LLC to continue building, bettering, and supplying this type of equipment to our amputee community well after their college careers end. Their goal is to make their product quick to get and affordable for everyone. As they formulated their ideas and worked around getting large 3D printers to create such strong feet with high quality materials they have also been competing in this field with their product and I am excited to say that this past weekend they received an overall 1st place finish at the Murals competition at CSU for their product The Goldilocks Foot. Way to go,Team!! These students are just one example of the intensely competitive world of biomedical and medical engineering that can be found in our universities around the nation. Each team, each level, building off of other projects, creating all new ideas, and researching the field of prosthesis and a deeper level, all in all, working towards making the life of an amputee as comfortable, balanced, and natural as they once were with the part they are missing. This month, I want you to make sure to like, share and subscribe to my podcast as we go deeper into the world of engineering for the amputee community and what these inspiring students are bringing to the table. If you would like to watch the whole interview it can be found on my YouTube channel The future is NOW!

  • Statistically Speaking

    Statistically Speaking
    2025/03/26
    The Reality of the Numbers and What We Can Do About It The stats on amputees is staggering. In the US 1 in 200 people have undergone amputation! Over 2.1 million people live with an amputated limb. Worldwide, 1 million ampuatations happen annually, that's 1 amputation every 30 seconds!!! 1 EVERY 30 SECONDS! Amputee Coalition's diagram of statistics taken from Promedeast.com 2023 Even more alarming is the projection of the 2.1 million in the US doubling by the year 2050! On a different note and other statistics: The #1 cause of amputation, currently, is vascular disease, such as diabetes and peripheral arterial disease at 54% of major amputations. A close second at 45% is trauma with cancer being less than 2% of amputations. From this we see the emotional impact an amputation has on us. Amputees deal with depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Work is also impacted, making it harder to earn a living, keep a job, and even getting a new job, adding more stress to a person's life and complicating relationships, new and old. Why am I talking to you about all of these numbers (especially since I am NOT a numbers girl)? These stats and the aftermath of amputation have a huge impact on how people function in society and how well they live their life. Next week begins the month of April which is Limb Loss/Limb Difference Awareness Month. Every year I use this month to interview people in our community to shed light on and inspire the world. This year I am excited to announce that this month I will be talking with students from across our country who are working in the fields of Biomedical Engineering and Medical Engineering. This field has seen a boom across the country and the competition is intense! Each of these interviews are with students in the midst of creating, testing, or improving on products that will enhance the lives of amputees all over the world. Most are not even amputees (however, there is at least one who is), they are just looking to make a difference in a growing population. These students are our future. They are striving to find a better way for those of us who have lost a limb. I wanted to spotlight them and the hundreds of others who are studying biomedical engineering, in hopes to make a difference. Please make sure you like, share and subscribe to my podcast here, on my You Tube channel, or on most streaming platforms so you don't miss these April interviews and all the good these students are doing. Apple Podcast Spotify iHeart With such a growing interest and determination to improve the lives of amputees I am filled with such hope for our future and what we will be able to accomplish DESPITE our limb difference. Join me this April as we see the heart and minds behind our bright future! And as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!! Much love,
