Careables – Co-creating Open Health + Care
Careables are personalised health + care products, created with digital fabrication.
Careables is an open and inclusive approach to healthcare for citizens based on digital fabrication, distributed manufacturing and collaborative making. The EU-funded project brings makers + designers, healthcare professionals and users together to co-create and share inspiring health + care solutions. Careables are projects like: - lighting for wheelchairs - custom tricycles for children with neurological disorders - 3D-printed prostheses - caps to seal used stoma bags - pain sensoring squeeze-balls The project has two parts: Careables currently launches an online platform for open health+care projects so that everybody can find, design, make and share open tools and DIY solutions for healthcare and well-being. Careables runs and supports co-creation events in Makerspaces and Fablabs in Europe and worldwide. What is the problem you would like to find a solution for? Improve your life in a FabLab!
