  1. Develop designs for new hand conditions
  2. -Currently we only have well tested designs for users with full wrist function and no non-thumb digits. CB variant allows for extant thumbs.
  3. -Transradial and Symbrachydactyly variants are in progress but not thoroughly tested yet
  4. -Each type of upper extremity defect can be described as having a “family” (or genus for Jon) of solutions. These families seem to grow slowly until a minimum viable product is made, then they see continued sustained growth like the CB/Talon/Ody line.
  5. -Potentially recommend AMRI like positions at universities to kickstart new families by building those MVPs, depending on how much success AMRI sees with Symbrachydactyly users
  6.  
  7. An Infrastructure for hand distribution
  8. -RoboHand has been using 'hand-me-down' hands with apparent success. Creighton team has also theorized that we could have hand sizes just like shoe sizes.
  9. -Using info from the Creighton team and Jeremy's high thoroughput, we could likely characterize the necessary sizes.
  10. -Small injection moulding runs of these designs could be achieved for reasonably low costs.
  11. -Injection moulded parts are also far stronger and smoother than printed parts, improving our options for small children.
  12. -Surface finish of moulded parts is less friendly to bacteria
  13. -Injection moulded ABS is dish washer safe.
  14. -An e-NABLE organization could redistribute hands which have been grown out of.
  15.  
  16. Explore the legal implications of our work
  17. -FDA views on our unpowered devices have been stated, but myoelectric e-NABLE prostheses could prompt change in FDA regulations.
  18. -Foundation could hire legal professionals to study our liabilities and what regulations we ought to fall under
  19. -Recently recruited an FDA regulator off Reddit
  20. Sustainability through institution support contracts
  21. -As we become a more established and well known organization, we will hopefully build a trustworthy reputation like that of Doctors Without Borders.
  22. -Once we're established like this, we may be able to sell training and support to prosthetists and hospitals.
  23. -Very few 3d printer manufacturers have good support services right now, which makes it hard for institutions to use them without dedicating personnel to 3d printing
  24. -For more in depth 3d printing medical applications, the FDA will undoubtedly require certification of materials, machines, and processes. As a nonprofit positioned between 3d printing and the medical community, we would be in a good position to work on such certifications and sell the service to either 3d printing retailers or medical institutions.
  25. -Once we have an extremely thorough understanding of our devices, selling training on their fitting to medical institutions will be possible.
