HI EVERYONE!

My name is Sofia and I am a second-year student of Biomedical Sciences.

I have decided to enrol in this module because I am particularly interested in prosthesis but also other relevant applications of new technologies in medical settings.

I hope I will make new friends who will enjoy the module as much as me. If you need any help, do not hesitate to keep in touch!

Girl sees herself with a “normal-looking” ear for the first time

I have recently watched this video about a prosthetic ear that was implanted on a girl with a disease called “Microtia”, which basically completely deforms the shape and hearing abilities of the patient. Her first reaction while seeing herself for the first time with a new “normal-looking” ear is thrilling. This video reminds me the huge power that engineering has to completely revolutionise people’s lives.
