Mum first to use her bionic arm with AI

A BUSINESSWOMAN who lost an arm and a leg when she was run over by two trains is to be the first person with an artificial intelligence bionic arm which reads her mind.

Sarah de Lagarde slipped down a gap between her Tube carriage and the platform. The mum of two's right arm and right leg were crushed when her train left High Barnet, north London, and she was then hit by another service, last September.

She was not found for 10 minutes and medics could not save the limbs - but she hopes the metal electronic arm will restore part of her life. Its Al software will learn the movements that she performs most often and help to make them easier.
