16. Revolutionizing Orthopedic Care in Low-Income Countries, Part 3 w/ Terry Smith

Global Health Pursuit

Approximately 1.3 million people die each year as a result of road traffic crashes. More than half of all road traffic deaths are among vulnerable road users: pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. Between 20 and 50 million more people suffer non-fatal injuries, with many incurring a disability as a result of their injury.

This is where SIGN comes in. As the engineering manager, Terry speaks to us about how SIGNs design process to create trauma implants and instruments is different than the norm. How they work with surgeons from all around the world to create better products, and implement education so that each SIGN surgeon is optimally trained.
So how do they begin to create devices that serve these patients? Listen to find out!
