It is fitting that October is open hardware month. Sharing the source for a design is like giving someone a sweet treat on Halloween, it makes you feel good inside. There is still time to get your hardware design open-source certified by the Open Source Hardware Association https://lnkd.in/gDbBj5Tf Remember, like the first picture on this post, it does not even require any electronics to be certified. I just certified three designs for different flavors of my beeping, blinking business-card badge. What are you certifying?
So excited to welcome & rewelcome some wonderful board members for the 2024-2026 term! Congrats to Thea Flowers, Oluwatobi Oyinlola, Michael Weinberg & Kunvar Chokshi. Thank you to all OSHWA members who voted, your vote is important – we had quorum! Here are the results: https://lnkd.in/ew6Bt8xt

Thank you Miriam Gradel for the wonderful opportunity to share this incredible story of healing shared across countries due to the power of open source medical hardware!
I'm thrilled to finally reveal where all my energy has been invested in the past months. 💬 Have you ever heard of open-source HARDWARE? 👀 What about a 3D-printed tourniquet that anyone can manufacture, repair, and customize? 👉 https://lnkd.in/dkie3nnx In a nutshell, open-source hardware is the practice of openly sharing design files online so anyone can study, copy, repair, or improve a product or device. In HardwareX, I explore open-source designs globally that bring a novel approach to finding sustainable solutions to urgent issues. I get to "nerd out" with researchers, developers, and experts, take a look at the needs each design addresses, and explore the financial, socio-economic, and environmental impact of open-source product development. Over the coming period, I'll share some of the designs I've uncovered, starting with a 3D-printed tourniquet designed to save lives in Gaza. In this episode, Dr Tarek Loubani of Glia and Victoria Jaqua RT (R) (CT), RCIS of Open Source Medical Supplies (OSMS) take us from #Gaza to #Ukraine as we explore the development, testing, and scaling of the open-source tourniquet and the open-source tourniquet tester published on HardwareX.
