Fusiform, Inc. develops a software solution for use in making the design and fabrication of orthotic devices better and faster.

1. How did your team meet and when did you first see the need for improvements of orthotic devices?
The story of Fusiform begins in a rural village in India. In high school, I started an international nonprofit called the Lotus Life Foundation (www.lotuslifefoundation.org) which provides orthotic and prosthetic medical devices to children with disabilities in rural India. Our ultimate goal is to remove the stigma surrounding disability in India.
