En Chile, uno de cada cinco bebés nace con algún grado de asimetría craneal, una condición que durante décadas exigió moldes de yeso, meses de tratamiento y viajes a la capital que muchas familias simplemente no podían costear. Daniela Retamales y su startup Casku 3D han reescrito ese guión: mediante escaneo e impresión 3D, el proceso se ha reducido de ocho meses a tres, y el acceso a la atención especializada ya no depende de la geografía. Es el tipo de innovación que no solo acorta tiempos clínicos, sino que redistribuye una forma de justicia sanitaria.
