Maningi kakhulu amaphrojekthi athunyelwa ku-Facebook, Pinterest, naku-Twitter - isiko le-DIY liyakhula. Ezweni lonke izindawo zabakhi ziyavela zikhipha imikhiqizo yalabo abanesifiso sokwenza eyabo. Ngiyakholwa manje, ikhwalithi nokusebenza kwephrojekthi ephrintiwe ye-3D sekubaluleke kakhulu. Isibonelo esiphelele - i-MIT kanye neRobert W Johnson Foundation muva nje basekele uhlelo olusha olubizwa UMenziNurse, inhlangano yokukhuthaza abahlengikazi ukuba babe abadali.
I-MakerNurse yenzeka ngesikhathi umsunguli osebenzisana naye u-Anna Young ethola abahlengikazi e-Central America benza amadivaysi okubasiza ngemisebenzi yabo yansuku zonke nganoma yini ekhona. Ngokwesibonelo, omunye umhlengikazi walungisa i-stethoscope diaphragm ekhanyela phezulu. Omunye umhlengikazi eMassachusetts wakwenza kwaba lula ukondla isiguli ngepayipi lokuphakela.
Usiza kanjani uMenziNurse? Ngaphandle kokuvakashela izibhedlela ezweni lonke ukuze ubone ukuthi yini edalelwa ucwaningo oluzoshicilelwa ngonyaka ozayo, le ndawo ihlinzeka ngemishini yokwenziwa kwedijithali njengama-laser cutters namaphrinta e-3D, okuvumela abahlengikazi ukuthi baklame esikrinini. Kukhona nesigaba se-elekthronikhi sokwengeza ubuhlakani ezintweni ezihlukahlukene kanye nohlu lwamathuluzi okuhlanganisa nawomlondolozi.
Ukwengeza, kukhona “umgqugquzeli” ongumuntu ozosiza abahlengikazi futhi indawo imema abakhi bendawo yokuhlala endaweni. Yize kuzwakala kuwubulima kancane kukhona nesiteshi sezithombe ozishuthe sona, kodwa esikhundleni sokuzithumela ku-Instagram, lezi zithombe ozishuthe zona zisetshenziselwa ukuthwebula izinto ezidalwe zona kanye nokuthuthukisa “ukwenza kanjani” ukuze abanye bakwazi ukudala kabusha izixazululo zabo.
Abahlengikazi bangasebenzisa i-makerspace ukuze bangagcini nje ngokudala amathuluzi amasha, kodwa benze izinto ngokwezifiso zesiguli ngasinye noma bathuthukise idivayisi ekhona yasesibhedlela. Njengoba ungalindela, zonke izisetshenziswa ezenziwe esikhaleni ziyavalwa futhi zihlolwe ngokuthuthukiswa kwekhwalithi noma ibhodi lokubuyekeza lesikhungo ngaphambi kokuthi zikhishelwe phansi esibhedlela.
Kuze kube manje, lolu hlelo lubonakala luyimpumelelo. Emasontweni amabili kuqale uhlelo bangu-107 abahlengikazi asebebhalisile futhi sekunezinhlelo eziningi ezidaliwe. Ezinye zezinto ezintsha ezisunguliwe zihlanganisa amabhandeshi asikwe nge-laser ezingane ezingaphansi kwezinsuku ezingama-28 ubudala, isistimu yeshawa yeyunithi yokusha, nesihlangu esivikela amanzi esivumela iziguli ezinezintambo ze-IV ukuthi zishawe ngaphandle kokuzisusa.
Lolu hlelo luthemba ukuthi luzovula lezi zikhala ezibhedlela ezahlukene kulo lonke elase-United States kanti isikhungo esisodwa sesivele sigxumile. Isibhedlela sase-University of Texas Medical Branch's (UTMB) iJohn Sealy Hospital eGalveston, eTexas sinesinye salezi zikhala. UHLELO lwe-UTMB MakerHealth lunikeza abahlengikazi indawo ehlala njalo yokwakha izixazululo zokwenza imisebenzi yabo ibe lula. Ukuqeqeshwa nosizo nakho kuyatholakala kubasebenzisi abakhona.
I-MakerNurse iwuhlelo olusha olungagcini nje ngokukhuthaza abahlengikazi ukuthi basungule futhi basebenze kakhulu emkhakheni wabo, lezi zinto eziqanjiwe zingenza futhi izibhedlela zisebenze kahle. Ungahlola futhi umphakathi wabo, MakerNurse Dala, ukusebenzisana nabanye abenzi emkhakheni wezokwelapha, wabelane, futhi wenze idivayisi yakho yezempilo enemiyalo yesinyathelo nesinyathelo ethunyelwe kuphrojekthi ngayinye.
