Mobility Independence Foundation

At The Mobility Independence Foundation (The MIF), we believe that freedom of movement is a human right.

Complete Access to Design Files

Every user should have full access to the design files, schematics, and instructional guides necessary to build, maintain, and customize their equipment. This openness promotes autonomy for users and ensures access to technology that meets the demands of each individual’s lifestyle.

Defend from
Corporate Exploitation

Corporate entities have long monopolized the DME industry, making equipment costly and inaccessible for many users. The MIF is committed to resisting corporate monopolization of open designs and preventing large companies from profiting off of community-led innovation without compensation. Contributions to our designs by for-profit organizations should align with our mission of accessibility, fairness, and empowerment for all users. We love to partner with manufacturers to help bring these designs to life.

Ensure User Privacy & Protection

Privacy is non-negotiable. All designs must prioritize user safety and respect privacy. Devices designed through The MIF contain no hidden data-collection mechanisms or telemetric devices without transparent, user-initiated consent.
