  I'm thrilled to finally reveal where all my energy has been invested in the past months. 💬 Have you ever heard of open-source HARDWARE? 👀 What about a 3D-printed tourniquet that anyone can manufacture, repair, and customize? 👉 https://lnkd.in/dkie3nnxIn a nutshell, open-source hardware is the practice of openly sharing design files online so anyone can study, copy, repair, or improve a product or device. In HardwareX, I explore open-source designs globally that bring a novel approach to finding sustainable solutions to urgent issues. I get to "nerd out" with researchers, developers, and experts, take a look at the needs each design addresses, and explore the financial, socio-economic, and environmental impact of open-source product development. Over the coming period, I'll share some of the designs I've uncovered, starting with a 3D-printed tourniquet designed to save lives in Gaza. In this episode, Dr Tarek Loubani of Glia and Victoria Jaqua RT (R) (CT), RCIS of Open Source Medical Supplies (OSMS) take us from #Gaza to #Ukraine as we explore the development, testing, and scaling of the open-source tourniquet and the open-source tourniquet tester published on HardwareX.

• Our second delegation has left Gaza. These selfless volunteers spent their days tending to babies in a NICU -- some orphaned, all sick, many starving. We are committed to continue providing care and supplies for as long as they are needed.#Medicine4Gaza #EqualCare #Glia #Gaza
