AUTHOR . SPEAKER . AMBASSADOR
Patrick Kane is an author, motivational speaker, Ambassador to The UK Sepsis Trust and Össur, and a New Business Director in the advertising industry. He became a triple amputee in 1998 after contracting sepsis, and in 2010, he became the youngest person in the world to be fitted with a bionic arm. He has since gone on to carry the Olympic torch through Trafalgar Square as part of the London 2012 Olympic Games, spoken at TEDxTeen in 2014 and authored the award-winning children’s book Human 2.0.
HUMAN 2.0
HUMAN 2.0
Pioneering technological breakthroughs have truly changed lives. For some people, particularly those with disabilities, recent advances have crossed the realms of the purely imaginable, and reached a place of possibility. People with paraplegia can walk again, those who are hearing impaired can listen to even the faintest sounds, and some people with missing limbs can create beautiful works of art.
A CELEBRATION OF HUMAN BIONICS
This phenomenal book is a celebration of all that has been achieved so far, and a look at what might be possible in the near future. Is it inevitable that technology will surpass biology?
THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
Read my thoughts on a variety of topics; from changing how we see disabled people in dating, how they have been responsible for many of our most vital inventions, and how to make companies more inclusive.
Public Speaking
I love public speaking and am committed to making the experience as motivating and inspirational for those listening as possible. I enjoy speaking on topics such as:
Sepsis
Changing perceptions of disability with technology
Prostheses and becoming bionic
