A powerful piece @IEEESpectrum on the early days of exoskeletons. Robert was one of the first real users, a true pioneer. His courage and willingness to test and push the technology helped move the entire field forward. Grateful to see this story told. spectrum.ieee.org/exoskeleton-us…

Some training blocks end with a race. This one didn’t. Jungle → skimo → volcano. Race canceled by a 12-year storm. But the engine was built. Meanwhile, we have been testing Mizzion, understand what actually drives progress. Less noise. More signal. open.substack.com/pub/questnotes…

New Quest Notes: Running as a Mirror UTMB gave me my first DNF and a mirror. 16 races across Europe, Asia, and North America taught me the loops: Learning ↔ Adapting ↔ Growing open.substack.com/pub/questnotes…

I spent five years chasing running data - pace, HRV, VO₂ max, until slowing down finally made me wiser. From Data to Wisdom: My first Quest Notes essay. open.substack.com/pub/questnotes… #running #ultrarunning #reflection #fromdatatowisdom #trailrunning #digitalhealth #ai #Mindfulness

15 years after launching 3D-printed prosthetics @UNYQ, Medicare recognizes 3D printing as a reimbursable method. At @singularityu we said it’s exponential times, healthcare just moves linearly… until it suddenly doesn’t. tiny.cc/tpeu001 #3DPrinting #OandP #DigitalHealth

Big congrats to Lasse and the @levitate_sport : EY Entrepreneur of the Year “Scale Up” winners! Proud to have witnessed this journey of purpose and growth. 🚀 #impact #Ukraine 🇩🇰🇺🇦

@Nike just said “hold my Gatorade” and built an e-bike for runners. Project Amplify = powered exoskeleton shoes. 15 years ago I presented at Nike HQ what that future could look like. Wild to see it running now. #Running #Exoskeleton #FutureOfMovement 🔗 runningmagazine.ca/sections/gear/…

Thankful to be invited by my friend and coach Sigurjón Ernir from the Ultraform podcast 🎙️ (Icelandic language). 🇮🇸🏔🔥 #UltraRunning #TrailRunning #leadership open.spotify.com/episode/4IAO8h…

Inspiring @levitate_sport board meeting earlier this week with founder Lasse. Proud of our work in Ukraine and our 2-year partnership with uplus.center/en (led by Oleksandra). Let’s keep pushing. #Levitate #Impact #Ukraine

20km, 600m vert, and pure Andorran magic! 🏔️🔥 Running in the Pyrenees never gets old—tough climbs, epic views, and the feeling of total freedom. Grateful for days like this. Where’s your favorite mountain to run? #UltraRunning #TrailRunning #Andorra

Dealing with potential wildfires is how we deal with healthcare, reactive and most times too late. This is crazy and needs to stop. Back in 2007 I was personally on top of one building in Southern California fighting flames threading to burn it down. Just got worse it seems.

This is cool way of using AI studyfinds.org/ai-read-sign-l…

Promising trend focusing on injury prevention: IKEA boosts workplace health with 400+ exoskeletons deployed across 14 countries ingka.com/newsroom/ikea-…

In #Ukraina 🇺🇦 there is a staggering need to mobilize military service folks and civilians. It’s a major task with estimated 30.000 Ukraine amputees to date. Thrilled to be joining the Levitate team on their mission. youtu.be/x8GXfrr_ghY?si… #prosthetics

Few years ago prosthetic limb wearers enjoyed one color for all. It’s like when Ford launched in 1908 his T Model all in a single color of black. Not any more. Colors matter especially in the summer time. Latest color pallet is out fro @unyq #likenoother

A legend and a true survivor I had the pleasure of getting to know and spend time with. 🙏

Big week as we start introducing our new 3DPrinted @unyq Foot to US customers adjustable for different shoe types and individual styles. We have been developing this multi axial foot in collaboration with the MADE innovation hub in Minneapolis that is part of the US Veterans Org.

Alhambra in Granada one of my favourite destinations in Spain. Our inspiration at @unyq for the Ambra Design of prosthetic covers.

Saturday morning in Marseille bumped into this cool number plate 😉 @unyq
