人の選択の自由のためのデザイン | Rishi Krishna Iyer S | TEDxRathinam Technical Campus

2018年に右手を失ったRishi Krishna Iyer Sは、実際に使える義手を探しましたが、輸入品は高価で現地の環境に合わず、安価なものはほとんど機能がありませんでした。彼はNiranjankumar Raghupathiと共にSymbionicを共同設立し、インドで設計・組み立てられるモジュール式の上肢システム「Krea Adaptive」を開発しています。TEDxRathinam Technical Campusでの講演では、製品やシステムが人の自律性をどのように広げ、または制限するかが語られています。

• 義手を探した個人的な経験
• モジュール式のKrea Adaptive
• インドの環境と利用者の選択に合わせた設計

What does it mean to design for someone’s right to choose? Drawing on his experience of losing his right hand and building Symbionic, Rishi Krishna explores how products and systems can expand or restrict human agency. Through lessons from designing prosthetics, he shares why listening to people, offering meaningful choices, and understanding what matters to them should guide what we build. About In 2018 I lost my right hand. Then I went looking for a prosthetic arm. The imported ones cost more than a car and were built for conditions that do not exist here. The cheap ones did nothing. I had money, a network, and time, and I still could not find an arm I would actually wear. Most people in India who lose a hand have none of those three things. I co-founded Symbionic that year with Niranjankumar Raghupathi. We build the Krea Adaptive: a modular upper limb system with a quick-disconnect wrist, a 360-degree rotatable wrist, and four attachments covering the things people actually want back. Riding. Eating. Training. Working. Designed and assembled in India, for Indian conditions. People are using it across India. Some funded by corporate CSR, some by foundations, some who paid for it themselves. If you run CSR or a foundation funding disability or livelihood work in India message me here.
