Advancing Assistive Technologies for Global Equity: Outcomes of a Prosthetic Empowerment Mission in Sri Lanka
Empowering Local Practitioners Through Digital Prosthetic Workflows: Clinical Outcomes From a Humanitarian Mission in Sri Lanka: Access to quality prosthetic care remains a critical challenge in resource-limited settings. Aligning with the ISPO 2027 theme, “A World Connected: Advancing Assistive Technologies for Global Equity”, HFE (Humanitarian for Empowerment) collaborated with ProsFit on a humanitarian mission to Sri Lanka. The initiative focused on capacity building, empowering local staff to independently design and fit prosthetic replacements using stan dardized clinical data protocols and advanced digital workflows.
