The text appears to be a transcript of a conversation or a presentation with Priscille Deborah, a woman from France who is the first robot woman in the country. She has a bionic arm that she controls with her thoughts, and she shares her story of how she lost her arm and leg in a suicide attempt due to severe depression.
She underwent surgery in November 2018 to recreate her initial arm diagram and to create new muscles for her prosthetic arm. The prosthesis was equipped with an Emotive EEG (electroencephalogram) device, which allows her to control the movements of her arm by thinking. She spent two years of full-time rehabilitation to master the use of the arm.
The prosthesis weighs 6 kg and can lift a maximum of 100 kg. It is connected to her body via a harness and can be controlled by thought. She uses it in her daily life, including cooking and painting.
The prosthesis cost around 175 euros, and it was funded by solidarity initiatives and charity events. She hopes that the technology will become more affordable and accessible in the future, with the goal of integrating the disabled person into society.
She also mentions that she is the first drawing of France with a prosthesis and that she is proud of this achievement. The prosthesis is not supported by health insurance, and it is not considered a luxury item. Instead, it is a necessary tool for her to live her life to the fullest.
