VHP have designed and developed a low-cost, 3D printed upper-limb prosthesis: The Victoria Hand. Years of engineering development, refinement, and testing have produced a low-cost device with functional capabilities matching those of leading devices, but for a fraction of the cost.

 

The other great challenge is getting the Victoria Hand to amputees in need all over the world. Access to healthcare is a major challenge in many developing countries. To supply the Victoria Hand to amputees around the world, VHP create international partnerships with healthcare providers to make our upper-limb prosthetics readily available in developing countries.

​

I have both volunteered and worked as a co-op student at the Victoria Hand Project and have led the design of two new hands as well as a transhumeral prosthetic system. Given their novel design elements, patent applications are are currently in progress for the children's prosthetic hand and the transhumeral system.
