The article discusses how data plays a crucial role in enhancing prosthetic technology through AI. Sarah de Lagarde, a campaigner who faced life-altering injuries, utilizes an AI-powered prosthetic arm developed by Covvi. The arm collects data that helps recognize the user's patterns and optimize gestures for more efficient use. This example illustrates data's potential to make meaningful changes in real life, particularly in healthcare and prosthetics, challenging the often vague discussions around the topic of data's importance.
"Every time I use the arm, data gets collected ... and the AI function of this is to establish the patterns, recognize which ones I make most often, and then helps me complete those gestures more efficiently."
