Revolutionary AI Bionic Limbs Changes Woman's Life Forever

In a world where technology is advancing every day, it's inspiring to see how it's changing people's lives for the better. Sarah de Lagarde is one such individual who is set to become the first person in the world to operate an AI bionic arm that can read her mind.

Sarah, a global head of communications from Camden, north London, lost an arm and a leg after she slipped on to Tube tracks and was run over by two trains. Her right arm and leg were crushed when the train pulled out of High Barnet station. She was then run over again by another Tube, which caused further injuries. But this hasn't stopped her from striving forward. Thanks to the £250,000 bionic arm developed by Leeds-based prosthetics maker Covvi, Sarah can now start to get back to her normal life. The AI technology within the bionic arm is set to 'learn which movements I make most frequently,' Sarah says. Over time, it will make it easier for her to perform them with ease. Her brain will move the arm, and the socket will attach to her upper arm with sensors that detect muscle twitches. The software then converts these impulses into arm movements.

But it's not just Sarah who's excited about the new technology. Her daughters are also thrilled, asking her how powerful the arm is and "what will it be able to crush?" Sarah shared that "I have seen videos where the hand is able to hold an egg with three fingers or pick up a coin from a table." It's heartwarming to see how Sarah's family and friends rallied around her to help her get the prosthetic arm. Despite the fact that prosthetic arms available on the NHS are mostly for cosmetic purposes, her family started fundraising for the device. Her daughters' school even held a walk to raise money, and people from across the world pledged their support for her recovery. Speaking about the support she received, Sarah said: "Even people donating £2 made me feel quite emotional." It goes to show that every little bit counts when it comes to making a difference in someone's life.

Through all her struggles, Sarah has remained positive. She said, "Life is so so precious and an accident like this could have happened to anyone." Her message of hope is inspiring, and something that we should all take to heart. "Instead of worrying about the smaller things in life," Sarah said, "we should be focusing on the things that really matter." Sarah's story is a reminder that despite the setbacks we may face, there is always hope for a brighter future. And with technology like Covvi's AI bionic arm, that future is closer than ever before.
