Hello, my name is Taiwo Akinsanya, founder of Dynalimb and this is my entry for the i-FAIR Build It Challenge
Across Africa, millions of amputees struggle to access affordable and functional prosthetic limbs. Imported prostheses are extremely expensive, and local clinics lack the tools to produce advanced devices or manage patient care effectively.
At Dynalimb, we’re developing low-cost 3D-printed prosthetic limbs and building DynaX, an AI-powered digital platform that helps prosthetists design, fit, and manage rehabilitation care virtually. Our next frontier is creating an affordable myoelectric prosthesis — one that uses muscle signals to control movement, giving users a more natural and responsive experience.
What makes us unique is that we combine local manufacturing, AI-driven design automation, and virtual rehabilitation all in one ecosystem — making prosthetic care accessible, smart, and sustainable.
We believe this innovation deserves to be developed because it has the potential to empower thousands of amputees, create new local jobs, and position Nigeria as a leader in affordable assistive technology.
