The Worlds Most Powerful Arm Lets DMD Sufferers Sign Petitions

— April 19, 2013 — Social Good
Finch and Havas Worldwide Australia invented what is now known as the world's most powerful arm. This bionic arm has a fantastic capability that most Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy sufferers lack: the ability to write. The arm is specifically being used to sign petitions; it takes action from the website TheMostPowerfulArm.com.

Visitors sign into the database by signing on with their Facebook. “This data is then shared with the arm, which tells the paper roller to feed the paper, and signs the name to the petition. When it’s done, a camera takes a picture and posts it to their Facebook wall,” explain the creators of this rapid process.

This incredible technology will help thousands who are suffering from the DMD condition. If you would like to make a difference, please visit TheMostPowerfulArm.com and sign the petition.
