Medical Devices & Assistive Technology

The stories cover the equipment people depend on, from long-established kit to technology that barely existed a decade ago: prosthetic limbs, wheelchairs, robotic exoskeletons, 3D-printed implants, bionic eyes, smart insulin pens, wearable health monitors and smart rings, cuffless blood pressure devices, home sleep apnea testing, wearable ECGs that picked up atrial fibrillation, neurofeedback headsets, bimodal tinnitus devices, and brain-computer interfaces.

People are candid about fittings that took several attempts, batteries and repairs, insurance battles, the stares, and the strange grief of needing help. They are just as clear about what changed — the first walk, the alert that woke someone in time, the independence of leaving the house alone. Each ebook holds fifty first-person accounts on a single device or technology, delivered as PDF and EPUB immediately after checkout.
