Problematic : THE BIONIC MAN : how to find an economic model to become autonomous?
Delegation: UK
Honorable chairs, fellow delegates,
Although bionic man does not exist yet, we have already been able to manipulate and create real bionic limbs (arms, legs ...) to help people for example amputees.
All this has been made possible thanks to electrodes present in the prosthesis that are connected with the nerves wich allow people to control their movements and perform normal actions such as opening a door or walking. Indeed, the links between the nerve connections as well as sensors connected to microprocessors translate to the bionic arm the signals transmitted by the brain.
However we would like to sheds light on the fact that people with reduced mobility are constantly increasing, each year thousands of people suffer the loss of one or both of their legs to amputation following an injury or disease. There are some 45,000 people who rely on prosthetic limbs in England alone and across the UK around 5,000 people each year have lower-limb amputations.
That is why we consider that the development of bionic prostheses is essential to ensure better living conditions to the population.
The prothesis is not only applicable to limbs such as arms or legs . Indeed people having problems of hearing, or poorly or visually impaired or have heart failure can benefit from others forms of prothesis such as hearing aids, bionic eyes or pacemakers. The bionic technology is something revolutionary that come as a solution of many health problems.
This is why supporting and encouraging the development of this field, investing both money and hope in projects like those is a way making our earth a greater and safer place for human beings.
For years, tech businesses are at the heart of the UK economy and are playing an important role in driving growth across the country, and it is not done yet . We plan the creation of new institutes specialized in the conception of bionic protheses. In this aim we grant financial aid to new entrepreneurs that would like to work and develop this field.
In 2008, the economic crisis had an impact on the health economy: an impact on the systems guaranteeing care (the least resources available, the difficulty of organizing health care providers, limitation of health coverage and / or access to care), an impact on health status with a rise in social inequalities in relation to access to care. The reduction of public health expenditure (decrease of 3 billion euros between 2009 and 2011). In this context The development of bionic technologies, despite their exorbitant cost (several hundreds of thousands of euros), makes it possible to make a certain mobility and therefore autonomy for people with disabilities, they can return home since they 'need more external help (after rehabilitation, of course), resulting in vacancies in specialized institutes for future patients, and so could certainly improve the situation.
