"I can turn it on to show you how it works. It's way easier putting it on without the cover," Eloise Bayliss explained.
"Right here are the sensors. They, like, detect emotion, so I can do this. I can also move the finger individually."
"I'm thankful to have a wonderful insurance plan through my employer. I struck gold with that. Some of them don't cover that, and this is a $30,000 arm," Eloise's mother, Elizabeth Bayliss, explained.
She's even more thankful that on Tuesday, Eloise got an early Thanksgiving surprise — an exclusive custom-designed "Moana 2" cover for her arm.
"Here's another one, Wolverine. The Hero Arm product was launched in 2018, and the whole idea behind it is to make kids of all ages and adults feel like heroes."
"Yeah, and you can definitely see that in Eloise. Her confidence has just soared since the time that I first met her till now, and I love the way she talks about how the Hero Arm has made her more confident," said Emily Shannon, an upper limb prosthetist at Open Bionics.
