Bioniks : How a Pakistani startup is giving new lives to amputees with intelligent artificial limbs

Since the start, Bioniks has fixed 600 AI-run prosthetic arms. Yet 1,000 are still waiting.

A Bioniks survey based on people waiting for limb devices says that out of the total, 74% are males, 15% are females, and 10% are children under the age of 12, while the rest are miscellaneous.

Similarly, according to Bioniks’ survey, 22.9% of people were amputated while cutting grass, 18.6% because of electrocution, 17.2% were congenital, and 17% lost their limbs due to road accidents.

It is estimated that globally 65 million people live with limb amputations, and approximately 1.5 million individuals undergo surgical removal of a limb each year.

Bioniks is a social enterprise. Since Bioniks-manufactured AI prosthetic limbs are cheap, our future vision is to manufacture limbs so that we can supply them to the rest of the world, especially to poorer countries, Anas added.
