New technologies are aimed at solving problems facing humanity and one of these are the subhuman conditions in which some people have to live, especially in Africa, at the confluence of factors that create a climate of insecurity and poverty coexist really unfortunate that people around here.
We must put aside the donations and begin implementing sustainable methods that do not depend mainly on factors like the economic crisis and this is precisely what some experts have begun to do who are developing new products to these countries, which are a headset that works with solar energy and a motorcycle ambulance.
These wonderful inventions were presented in the context of an engineering conference held in London.
This and other innovations published Monday in a new report from the medical journal Lancet, in which mention is practicing paths innovations take advantage of the UN as text messages to warn South African mothers with HIV over periods they should take their babies for them to be analyzed, in addition to using the Cola-Cola crates to transport doctors to remote areas, because otherwise many people would be vulnerable to disease.
For years they have managed to send hundreds of thousands of prosthetic joints, surgical instruments and other medical devices at no cost, however, according to WHO, about 75% of donated goods deteriorate without ever used because of the ignorance of people about their use. Not to mention that some prostheses that are sent to Africa are not useful for the people of the area.
That is why we would be most useful inventions such as solar energy hearing in addition to generating a large impact in Africa. The estimates of some experts point out that two thirds of the 250 million people worldwide with hearing impairment live in developing countries, such as this.
The mechanical engineer who designed the instrument Cambridge emphasizes that the vast majority of donated hearing aids do not help Africa as they are made to treat different hearing disorders, as these are given in greater numbers in the West. The design in question allows to be placed near but not inside the ear to function.
Under the same optical design motorcycle ambulance is the ability to navigate the difficult terrain in Africa. “Ambulances donated (the West) do not advance or 100 meters in Africa,” said Mike Norman, a British engineer who designed the motorcycle.
