Invention, Intellectual Property and Income

✅ 1. Created a dissemination plan for your final project

This project is currently a functional prototype of a hand exoskeleton designed to assist people with brachial plexus paralysis. At this stage, it will not be published on any social media or journals, and will only be documented on the official Fab Academy website, where the full development process will be available.

Target audience (in the future):

Patients with partial arm paralysis
Therapists and physical rehabilitation professionals
Researchers in assistive technology
Students and makers interested in biomedical devices

Initial dissemination: Only published on the personal Fab Academy page as part of the academic documentation.

Future dissemination (once more advanced):

Professional networks such as LinkedIn or Instagram
Presentations at health or tech conferences
Outreach to medical institutions for clinical validation

The project will be documented only on the Fab Academy website. Once further developed, it may be shared on social media or presented at conferences.

✅ 2. Outlined future possibilities and described how to make them probabilities

This exoskeleton is still at the prototype stage, but in the future, it is intended to be useful for real patients. The following improvements and actions will help turn this idea into a practical solution:

Future possibilities:

Redesign the prototype for greater comfort and ease of use
Use lighter and more durable materials
Include sensors to adapt movement to the user
Conduct user testing under medical supervision

How to make it happen:

Continue iterating on the mechanical and electronic design
Seek collaboration with physical therapy professionals
Run controlled tests in clinical environments
Look for funding or academic support to continue development

My goal is that in the future, a person with brachial plexus paralysis can benefit from this device. To achieve this, I will keep improving the design and look for collaboration with healthcare professionals to validate its functionality.
