It’s amazing how people gets idea to use technology for different purpose which is meant for something else. Have you ever thought that one day the same bluetooth technology will help someone to walk again.

Till now I only saw people having this on their ear and communicating with friends and family as a handless device. But now bluetooth is getting use to comunicating between legs.

On Oct 15, 2006, Marine Lance Cpl. Joshua Bleill lost both of his legs above the knees when a bomb exploded under his Humvee. He was patroling at that time in Iraq. He had 32 pins in his hip and a 6-inch screw holding his pelvis together.

But Now, he’s starting to walk again with the help of prosthetic legs outfitted with Bluetooth technology till now which was more commonly associated with hands-free cell phones.

I read this amazing story here in CNN.
