Recommendation

Wheelchair user Rachael Wallach is grabbing the Fourth Industrial Revolution by the horns to improve the lives of millions. Wallach’s firsthand experience with disability allowed her to identify a yawning gap, which she is bridging by leveraging 3D printing and open-source design to “disrupt disability.” getAbstract recommends Wallach’s daring personal story to manufacturers and entrepreneurs with the moxie to change the world for the better.

Take-Aways

  • Some 52 million people around the world require customized wheelchairs but can’t afford them.
  • To address this need, society can “disrupt disability” in three steps.
  • First, “disrupt assumptions.” Recognize that a wheelchair doesn’t inhibit a person from navigating the world as an able-bodied person would.
