The Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA) aims to foster technological knowledge and encourage research that is accessible, collaborative and respects user freedom.
Thank you so much for joining us in San Francisco for the 2026 Open Healthware Week! We are so happy to have witnessed so many incredible talks, workshop collaborations, projects and conversations among attendees.
Wrapping up with Avinash Baskaran Ph.D. talking about how the path to an open source healthware ecosystem
Dan Blizinski is here and bringing folks through the trenches of building community around open medical devices
Anthony Di Franco coming in with his talk on Open Source solutions for medical supply chain challenges post break!
adriana cabrera is up highlighting how collaborative prototyping, interdisciplinary practices, and material experimentation can contribute to new pathways for assistive device development in health and rehabilitation.
Yadira Sanchez is telling us about her experiences developing a device that measures the fine particles in the smoke in response to the difficulties of rural and Indigenous kitchens in communities across Mexico
Silvestr is taking us through what it looks like to make 3D printing replicable under contraints
We're joined by Stephen Applebaum taking us throuhg reviving a Class II Electrical Median Nerve Stimulator!
Enrico Bassi has taken the stage to talk how supply chains fail in conflict or crisis, open hardware and hospital makerspaces become real health infrastructure alternatives
Jen Wilson is joining us virtually to tell us about quality assurance is one of the areas in open source manufacturing !
Andrew Lamb is up to tell us all about the ways that Open Healthware exists around the world (and somehow so many of these projects happen to be in the room!)
Daniel Lam and George Fakes presenting on what it means to restore a discontinued clinical tool through open sourcing
Welcome to Day 2! We've got Alexandra Bremers, Ph.D. kicking us off with a talk on the results of a global replication study (N=10) of the Glia Tourniquet!
Hitting our final talk of Day 1 with Reitwiec Shandilya on his Open pressure project and reclaiming abandoned medical device through open source hardware
Joel Murphy is presenting ~virtually on the experiencing of making the PulseSensor
The wonderful Dr. Aisen Chacin presenting on bioreactors for Regenerative Bacterial Cellulose in Surgical Simulation
Jack Keenan and Alex Barton are giving all the deets on small scale manufacturing Glia tourniquets!
Erin McKiernan welcoming us back from lunch with her talk on open hardware for biomedical education
Liz Henry and Olga Prilepova are guiding us through what it means to make a repairable wheelchair
Bo Morgan is bringing us through assistive technology for blind and low vision people
Dr. Yves Nazon kicked us off by talking about the new Healthware certification process and how we developed it!
Kicking off the Open Healthware Conference with a workshop in our new certification process with Yves Nazon and Avinash Baskaran!
Check out Doug Brantner's talk "Open Source MRI" at the Open Healthware Conference on July 9th and 10th in San Francisco. OpenSourceImaging.org has developed the OSI² ONE MRI - a working, fully open source, low-cost MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) machine, including both hardware and software.
Reitwiec Shandilya will be sharing his talk "Open Pressure Sensing Device(OpenPSD): Reclaiming Abandoned Medical Devices Through Open-Source Hardware" on day one of the Open Healthware Conference. Join us in San Francisco or online! Bit.ly/OpenHealthwareConference2026
Christian Villarreal and Juan Escudero will be sharing their talk "From Biofilm to Bioengineered Tubular Constructs: A Rotational Bioreactor for Regenerative Bacterial Cellulose in Surgical Simulation" at the Open Healthware Conference!
The Open Healthware Conference is coming up soon and we can't wait to gather around some incredible projects and people like Alex and Jack from DMDM! Join us for their talk "Quality management systems for small scale community manufacturing".
We're excited to share that adriana cabrera will be sharing her talk "Open innovation, Soft & Bio-inspired Technologies, Wearables" at the Open Healthware Conference in San Francisco. We have virtual and in person ticket options for this conference! See you this week in SF or online.
