An open and inclusive approach to healthcare

Careables.org is a platform where care receivers, healthcare professionals and makers join forces to co-create careables: tailor made solutions designed to better suit patients needs.

Careables are tailor made open solution co-designed and replicable

Careables are accessible, adjustable and shareable solutions designed thanks to digital technologies, such as 3D printers and laser cutters, for permanent or temporary disabilities.

COVID-19
Together we care!

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak we are doing our part, because we believe healthcare concerns all. Therefore it requires the contribution of all humans as a collectivity. Since the last week we have been collecting useful solutions, stories, and information to help you navigate and orient yourselves.

Let’s stay all safe, healthy digitally distributed!
