ReAllocate is developing a prototype “Miracle Brace” for Miracle Feet to treat clubfoot, a birth defect that affects 200,000 children annually world-wide. With 80% of the cases of clubfoot occurring in developing countries and bracing an integral part of the treatment process, delivering a low cost brace becomes a life changing piece of technology. Using rapid innovation, we are creating an affordable solution for the developing world.
