Designed for Dignity: How Adaptive Innovation Is Changing Lives | Douglas Katz

What happens when life changes in an instant—and you decide to reinvent not only yourself, but the lives of countless others?

In this episode of Born Before the Algorithm, I sit down with Douglas Katz, a West Point graduate, disabled Army veteran, inventor, and entrepreneur whose mission is to restore independence through human-centered innovation.

After a life-changing injury, Douglas transformed personal adversity into purpose by creating groundbreaking products like NULU, the Golfresco, and a hyperconfigurable arm sling designed to improve everyday life for people with disabilities. Our conversation explores resilience, adaptive innovation, entrepreneurship, and why technology should always serve humanity—not replace it.

If you’ve ever wondered how purpose can emerge from life’s greatest challenges, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
