Established in 2020This project is very new and we are still in the process of figuring out all of the dynamics. By the end of the year we are expecting to have colleted various data about amputees and their struggles through interviews and research. We also expect to have created a prototype and plan on how to implement it. We currently have completed component 1 of our project and are waiting to recieve feedback from field experts.
