[Music]

and I would ask a ramp

thanks paco

effectively I am the deputy more

fortunate of the world here where they see me

and I am

thanks to the imputation if I do not

I have heard me wrong wrong because

the imputation and not despite poor

because the imputation what he has done has

been giving me the opportunity to model myself

as a person but also unite and

link the personal part with the part

professional as just commented paco

my story

it’s not that it was a thing that

I want clear of the imputation and with

the whole process has been rather a

evolution towards an evolution

constant of years canceling leading

this path

has ever been almost unconscious not

He is very clear about how he is going to do it but

It is very clear what are the

factors that I now have clear to put the

factors that intervened in that

decision of course evolution

technological

of course all the people that I

they accompany us, they keep accompanying us

they hold me is theirs

ok and also my personal attitude before

the challenges a positive attitude the

attitude of overcoming struggle

enjoy exploring and being able

to look for the next challenge in life and

my very simple story that should be

summarize in a few slide all

started in 85 as I was saying before

for ccoo the 85 I was diagnosed a

bone tumor in the left leg

bad thing so that I then had not

much solution here in Spain is

still one and it was not very good

I can not comment read my father are not

agree with that forecast and parents

of course they went to see what was

the best alternative for me in the

part of the world that was and they recognized

and they saw it was New York

treatment of course was very expensive

the treatment of course was going to be

two years ours was two years

they did not doubt they were trapped until the

eyebrows and there we were not the three

my mother I stayed there two years

my father came and went my sister was

they were here but we all have a

very strong common goal that goes to

to meet again and that happened and

happened in 87 I have summarized two years of

very graphic and fast way

you do not have to enter the details either

87

We can not find the family

friends teachers worldwide

for this reason I even missed

less and teachers

I do not know if very involved but there

finished the thing and I wish I had finished

I hope not this as we discussed before

it can be an opportunity can be a

challenge because the following years were

of going and coming hospitals were of

more operations more attempt to save

the leg a leg that stopped being

almost functional although it was mine was the

I felt that I I

it hurt until in the end it had to be taken

a very difficult decision was not so

difficult but very important that goes

to mark the rest of my life and it was very

simple cut for the sake of health

it was at 3 from now my life is

I was going to dedicate to going to the workshop

prosthesis and instead of going to the doctor to

operations and adapt to anesthesia

then that day and marked the next

great challenge for me and today they have voted and of

the free navigability hospitals but

I had to walk again with these

prostheses that you are seeing here as

the one that took and regain that

abnormality that had lost walking

no I do not know if a doctor is not here

someone in someone specialized in the

realization for imputed but it

forget to summarize them trip an expert of

very fast way to learn to

walk what you have to do is the

room sweat and tears fit

costs and some little more

rehabilitation more sweat more

tear another bit of adjustment and still

more rehabilitation still more sweat

even more the tear and so I can

take me the 14 minutes left

presentation but there are more things

interesting to spend life by

That I am here

I got to walk I got to recover the

normality was already walking and who used the

limitation of being able to move the hands

while I speak with you is that of

fact was the main limitation that

I had in my head that grief gives me

same but I lacked something else and what

next that’s what it was when

I thought in my head to think what

he had very clear sports activity

until then just before the

imputation has marked him a lot and I

I did not want to sacrifice that activity

sporty

I did not want to let it go

I wanted to keep trying

It was not easy either, I do not know if I remember and

but there by the 91 did not exist

youtube there were no manuals you did not know

how you had to learn and teach a

amputee do here without prosthesis or ace

r wella or riding on horseback

prostheses about to lose it out there

so to me but good is another

story and it was not easy but the same

we resort through the method

scientific test you fall you get up

tests you fall gets you up again more

test more fall and you get up I

they are already taking a bit as is the

tonic not to overcome challenges like to

keep going and that’s how I enjoyed it

a lot of sport and I still

enjoying a lot of growth that

not so much for the look I have

but now I keep practicing

whenever I can I knew that was going

to be my professional dedication and has

other concerns the head and when I

I thought I was beginning to think what

are going to be those concerns or that what

I wanted to dedicate myself from there what

they have very clear clear

with this device is a number I

I had some impressive statistics

with 18 years old I had a resume

that was spectacular so that what

I would like to see myself and become

love him in expert health expert

but it has also unwittingly turned

and in the process

in sanitary experts as a

prosthesis specialty for imputed

I was crystal clear

I had to be an engineer and that’s how it was

I studied engineering here in Seville

study telecommunications by

that of integrating electronics between

the robotic

Robotics tries to integrate electronics

integrate all the devices that I

will help me and the community

deputies to keep moving forward and in this

opportunity to work in one of the

market leaders to understand what

is what a company does like the

company what it does

talking about prosthesis for imputed and

about everything the most interesting for me

what they did not do and what is it

they were not going to do it anymore because

they wanted because they could not because they did not

I was interested , it did not matter to me but

they are going to do

in the golden opportunity for me like this

that throws me to the pool

seven years ago I threw myself into the pool and

I started to investigate with new

technology

I started to investigate with a new

prototype development

I got in touch with the principals

clients that I had already had in my

previous stage by europe and in the end we

we crossed with a wonderful in the

3d printing and no fruit need that

we have all voted and the family and

I can walk if I can run or

do many things

that what the

manufacturers until then

manufacturers presented in

functionality and this prosthesis will like

more or less are those that are

this was the solution we have

we cosmetic as they carry nothing

wears a foam rubber from the 50s and

that is still happening today that does not

it was enough so what we did

they squeezed their heads to see how

we could move forward and see what we could

do to go around with the

3d printing and here you are seeing

above

here we have the technical body that

we have developed in Munich that what

allows is that the accused himself already

have anatomical shape recover the

joy and smile how are you

seeing in that photo and you can also

choose the design and the colors with the

who wants to show his prosthesis and his

personality to the rest of the world and to the

own if it is no longer going to be a stick leg

now it’s going to become something with

very much style

how are they watching it gets is removed from

very simple way they make impression

3d with which it is made for me and if

Today I like this because it does not combine

with the clothes I wear, I put the other

we have already turned it into a

same design element that we chose

the glasses wear the clothes because they do not

I’m going to choose how I want to show myself today

loa the rest of the world and that what

we have done in Munich but we have gone

beyond also and to and beyond

we think we can do with this

technology and this wonderful way

that we have created so fantastic for

make other people with needs

of orthopedic devices can be

benefit and what would happen if we go back to

the beginnings of mine and we integrate it

electronic that we integrate something that we

allow you to monitor what is

going

we did it and already we have it we have caught

that technology platform and we have

developed a July corset if the

first consell scoliosis and that integrates

a chip with collaboration with intel that

is capable of using an application of

mobile that the user controls himself

your treatment that is capable that the

own user say if you want and not

he wants what he wants to do and

how do you want to organize your day in

function of what he had prescribed

the doctor and from there it ‘s very

clear the future what will be the future

will be to continue integrating new

new applications technologies for

to be able to develop within the

community of disabled device

to help us either in the part

functional as the aesthetic part as

in the two

that is our way and we do not know how

is going to be the way has been very clear and

I just saw now time

brushstrokes like how my life has been

because it pretty much moves everything to

all these challenges that we are doing

The company does not know what it is going to do but

we know that we are going to have to overcome

challenges many challenges

we can not call challenges what we can

call an obstacle we can call it

reinvent yourself and adapt to the change to

work daring to change the problem

how much we like each

but the same background must be overcome

that fence

and I was already overcome in three ways

there are mainly people like

the right one that does it with technique afe

12 if you make a few then two boats you know that

is going to jump the fence

there are people like the center that also

of technique what applies is a style

of death has a stilt

I know for sure that all the

cover of the vogue and the main ones

media and then that

people like me that employees like

be cologne current mouth gas or with what

that we have at hand with whatever

let’s have us

between that moment when this resource and

although when we overcome the challenge

we know very confident lot

security

let’s start what the card does not matter what

let’s overcome those three attitudes are

fundamental because it is what the state

what is fundamental here is

that within what we have to do it the

overcoming the challenge

if we have the basis of the attitude not

we will be able to do it ever

and as we see it both

personal level and at the level of the

environment and collaborators whether

companies whether customers

attitude is essential if we do not take

the attitude and we treat it as if it were

a garment we will not be able to

put build on top of those ni

overcome any challenge and attitude

I consider it in a very

simple as in the morning

we take and choose a one color clothes

or we choose a clothes of another color for

move in the day

we can choose almost all we want

we can say the negative attitude

positive or negative attitude of

which the world is living makes

cold

this day I spent the worst of my life

positive attitude we already know what can

it is also raining to improve the

car

It’s cold, I’m going to put my coat on

there has never been and will be the

envy of the whole office and that’s going to

be the best day of my life when

we have this kind of attitude and we

we put that shirt we are able to

Overcome any challenge that we face

ahead and if you stay with

that in the head and within a day

a few months

a few years when we can not

find and tell me manuel

it’s true what reason I had with the

attitude has infected me just as it has

infected to all those people who are

there

the family the friends the companions of

class

Even you can infect yourself

positive attitude has infected me

acted has helped me overcome challenges

if you are true, they come back and tell me

that in an informal conversation that

let’s have the time that is

because I will not have any choice

that remain the amputee more

fortunate of the world

thank you very much

me
