Here’s what Jerry Jalava, says about his DIY invention:
First of all it is not attached permanently in to my body, it is removable prosthetic which has USB memorystick inside it.
Secondly when I’m using the USB, I just leave my finger inside the slot and pick it up after I’m ready.
Currently I have Billix , CouchDBX and Ajatus installed inside it. I’m planning to use the other prosthetic as a shell for the next version, which will have removable fingertip and RFID tag.
