FabCare is a global network of labs that want to make health and care more inclusive and innovative by co-designing and developing solutions that improve people's lives with all the users involved, to be produced locally and shared globally so as to be easily replicated.
FabCare was born in 2021 from an initiative by OpenDot Fab Lab with FabLab Kamp-Lintfort.
Good ideas and practices must circulate fast and freely. We believe in collective action and in the power of sharing: being open, distributed and interconnected maximises the positive impact labs can make to innovate the status quo. We need all of you to scale up the co-design method for health and care!
