Hi!

I'm Marquee a 4th year college student from the De La Salle University - Manila, taking up a specialization in Biomedical Engineering. I was hoping to know the number of cases existing this year, 2023, for musculoskeletal disorders in the Philippines. As an aspiring biomedical engineer, it is my intention to use my knowledge in order to be of service to the Filipino in the field of medicine through engineering and biomedical devices. As such, the data to be used is for a research/thesis with a working title of "Revolutionizing Upper Limb Therapy with Redesigned Soft Robotics".

Thank you.
