Brazilian Assistive Technology MissionChina 2026

A Brazilian prosthesis user, born with a congenital limb difference, following the technologies presented at CR Expo China to document the user experience, produce content in Portuguese, and bring international innovation closer to Brazil's community of people with disabilities.

The thesis

This is not the sponsorship of a trip. It is an investment in representation.

This mission offers partner organizations something rare in the Brazilian assistive technology market: the perspective of a real prosthesis user, able to try solutions in real contexts of use, document that experience, and translate it clearly for the Brazilian public.

Assistive technology should also be presented by the people who use it.

The purpose

Why this mission exists

Technologies capable of transforming the lives of people with disabilities already exist. The problem is the distance between these solutions and the people who need them.

In Brazil, many prosthetic, bionic hand, myoelectric, and rehabilitation technologies still lack broad distribution or accessible information in Portuguese produced by real users.

This mission works to close that gap.

Accessible information

Content in Portuguese about technologies still little known in Brazil.

Real experience

The perspective of someone who uses a prosthesis in everyday life.

International connection

Bringing together manufacturers, Asian innovation, and Brazilian users.

Meet Pâmela Dayane

Pâmela Dayane Lima de Paula was born with a congenital absence of her right upper limb and received her first prosthesis at the age of 25.

She is a lawyer, a federal judiciary analyst, and the creator of @concurseirapcd, a project focused on rights, accessibility, public exam preparation, and self-esteem for people with disabilities.

Her experience showed that the barrier in Brazil is not only cost, but also information.

It took me 25 years to get my first prosthesis. No Brazilian should wait that long for information.
