- A glucose sensor that isn't a subscription
The open diabetes community solved the software and left the sensor closed. The recurring cost of consumables, not the algorithm, is what keeps continuous monitoring out of reach.
- An MRI scanner a district hospital can actually buy
Most of the world has no access to MRI. Low-field designs are physically simpler and already exist as open prototypes, but nobody has carried one through manufacture and clearance.
- Dialysis that isn't tethered to a clinic
Treatment is lifelong, three times weekly, and consumes a large share of some health systems' budgets. Machine and consumable design is closed and the recurring cost is structural.
- Hearing aids without the markup
The signal processing is well understood and publishable, the hardware is commodity, and regulatory access in the US recently opened. Almost nothing open exists.
- Molecular diagnostics without a proprietary cartridge
Isothermal amplification removes the need for a thermal cycler and is widely published. Commercial point-of-care systems still bind each test to a single-vendor cartridge.
- Powered prosthetic limbs at the price of a laptop
Passive 3D-printed hands are a mature open success. Powered, sensor-driven limbs remain closed and cost orders of magnitude more, and the control software is the gap.
