Responding to a Community in Need During Dire Time

While HII TECH’s focus is squarely on solving problems for individuals with disabilities, its innovations can also address major societal concerns, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. When the Capital Region’s medical community had an urgent need for personal protective equipment for front line healthcare workers, HII TECH knew it had the ingenuity to respond.

After making some adjustments to an existing design, the incubator’s staff, fellows, and volunteers were able to meet the need by fabricating 775 face shields in an about two weeks. HII TECH is continuing to fulfill mask orders for this ongoing need.
