# Debugging Prosthetics

It’s a mistake — even an absurdity — that the heart prosthetics sector is still considered a niche.

**I believe this sector deserves better !!  And I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make something happen.**

This isn’t a marginal topic; it’s about the body, survival, dignity.  The reasons this sector is still small is because it’s been stalled by high costs and slow systems-NOT DEMAND !

Indeed, **the heart prosthetics ecosystem is full of inefficiencies:** fragmented R\&D, massive fixed costs, and decade-long development timelines. 

Beyond helping patients, it’s a gateway to much broader fields and the development of new areas: artificial organs, humanoid robotics, bioengineering, organ transplantation etc. 

**So, why a niche? Because the market is blocked and very opaque.**

It is blocked due to very particular factors which led to a vicious cycle : Highly personalized product → Complex components & materials → Long clinical adaptation time → Very high development costs → Slow approval from institutions → Years to generate revenue → Unattractive to traditional investors → Founders under pressure or get bought out → (back to start).
