This may be one of the most important episodes we have done. We discuss the myriad of options when it comes to providing access to prostheses worldwide. This episode doesn't stop at global access, we dive headfirst into the challenges and unique opportunities in bringing prosthetics to developing countries. We explore how technology is shaping the future of prosthesis, discussing the innovative use of online information exchange, 3D printing, and even thrilling stories of successful remote fittings with a doctor from India and a prosthetist in the US. As we charge into the future of prosthetics and orthotics, we get real about the idea of a "library" of prosthetics, repurposing old prosthetics for new users, and the potential for DIY prosthetics through 3D scanning technology. We also address the crucial need for collaboration and communication within the industry, balancing commercial and humanitarian efforts, and the potential solutions in providing prosthetic devices in developing countries. This episode is not just about information, it's about inspiration, advancements, and the betterment of lives through access of prosthetic care.Special thanks to our sponsor: Vorum

We record video and audio independently, so it's a little nicer quality than a skype call. In order to do this Brent uses a Panasonic Lumix GH4 and an MXL 990 Mic to capture everything in camera and on his computer via Audacity. Casey also uses a Panasonic Lumix GH4 and an MXL 990 Mic, everything is recorded in camera and in Adobe Audition. Doing this gives us the freedom to be able to edit video and audio in high quality for the podcast. Everything is edited in Adobe Premiere Pro and output to Youtube and Podcast services. These podcasts are edited and uploaded by Editor Matt! Whom you should continue to thank in the comments of each video, and give as much crap to as possible..we kid of course, these podcasts wouldn't be uploaded probably ever if it weren't for him!
