Hi all,
An intriguing example of DIYBio, as a necessity to stay alive without bankrupting oneself. Here a man built his own kidney dialysis machine at a fraction of the cost of what was available commercially, using common kitchen tools.
Although this is an early example, it shows the potential for low-cost innovation, as medical consumers evolve into creators and makers, mastering their own fates, rather than rely helplessly on the mainstream experts.
Interestingly, it will be in the less-developed parts of the world where DIYBio may find many of its early adopters and creators, both out of need, and also because of lack of existing infrastructure (like healthcare, environmental standards, good governance). Just as Mobile Banking was pioneered by africans because of a lack of financial infrastructure, and poor/non-existant rules makes setting up traditional banking difficult. Now as a result, Africa now is several generations ahead of us in terms of mobile technologies, and has developed itself to export its systems and know-how to the world.
Cheers,
Michael
