Youth Month Interview - Dian Meintjes

Loading player...
In today's interview we have a young innovator with a powerful vision. At just 22, he’s already designing future-facing tech that could one day change the way we think about rehabilitation.

Let’s welcome a new member of the Alumni family, Dian Meintjes!
