Today we’re highlighting Operation Sight — a collaborative effort with the Federal Ministry of Health Ethiopia and Orbis International to strengthen primary eye care and eliminate trachomatous trichiasis (TT), a leading cause of preventable blindness. By replacing paper-based registration with biometric ID, health workers can now retrieve patient records in seconds, improving follow-up care and reducing duplication, even in remote settings. ➡️ Swipe through to see how Operation Sight is transforming eye health in Ethiopia. #EyeHealth #PreventableBlindness #DigitalHealth #GlobalHealthInnovation #Impact #OperationSight #TechForGood #Biometrics

Our own Jenny Thornton recently represented Simprints at Action Against Hunger USA's Innovation Showcase in New York City. Jenny was selected as one of four innovators presenting transformative solutions for global hunger and health, a testament to the vital role biometric technology plays in strengthening humanitarian delivery and ensuring vulnerable populations receive the care they need. The event brought together inspiring voices in innovation, including Maria Kasparian from Edesia Nutrition, Arttu Luukanen from Solar Foods, Marie-Laure Oger and Caroline Antoine from ACTION CONTRE LA FAIM, and Ralph Jerome from Rivalz™. Thank you to Action Against Hunger USA for convening this important gathering, and congratulations to Jenny and all the 2025 Innovators for your dedication to driving meaningful change. #InnovationForImpact #HumanitarianTech #GlobalHealth #Biometrics

World Antibiotic Awareness Week is in full swing, and the conversations happening globally are more important than ever. 🌍 From healthcare workers on the frontlines to researchers in labs, policymakers in government offices to tech innovators, everyone has a role to play in combating antibiotic resistance. At Simprints, we're energised by the momentum. Our biometric technology is already making a difference in communities where accurate patient identification can mean the difference between effective treatment and medication misuse. 💡 This week brings into focus why we do what we do: making sure the right treatments reach the people who need them most. 📽️ Video courtesy of the World Health Organization. #AntibioticResistanceWeek #AMR #GlobalHealth

This upcoming World Antibiotic Awareness Week, we stand with the World Health Organization and the global health community in addressing one of the most pressing challenges of our time: antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance is responsible for an estimated 1.27 million deaths annually, and without urgent action, this number could rise dramatically. Common infections that were once easily treatable are becoming increasingly difficult to manage, threatening to reverse decades of medical progress and jeopardising routine procedures from childbirth to cancer treatment. 🦠 The challenge is complex, but solutions exist. While developing new antibiotics is crucial, we must also focus on using existing antibiotics more responsibly. This means ensuring they reach the right patients, at the right time, in the right doses. At Simprints, we believe technology has a vital role to play in this fight. Our biometric digital ID solution can help healthcare workers: ✓ Accurately identify patients and track their medication history ✓ Prevent duplicate prescriptions and medication misuse ✓ Monitor treatment adherence and outcomes ✓ Collect reliable data to inform public health strategies 💊 By giving every patient a verifiable digital identity, we're can help close the gaps where antibiotics can be misused or distributed ineffectively. This is particularly critical in low-resource settings where health systems face the greatest strain and where the impact of antibiotic resistance is felt most acutely. The fight against antibiotic resistance requires collective action, from policymakers to healthcare workers to technology innovators.

We’re thrilled to share that the Cambridge Judge Business School (CJBS) has launched a new case study exploring Simprints’ journey as a Tech for Good organisation. 📘 The case study, developed by CJBS Executive MBA alumna Anna Hoff dives deep into how Simprints: 🔷 Scales impact across 17 countries, reaching over 3 million people 🔷 Ensures ethical deployment of biometric technology in vulnerable communities 🔷 Builds sustainable partnerships with governments and NGOs 🔷 Measures real-world outcomes, from improved healthcare delivery to reduced fraud We’re honoured that our mission to make sure every person counts is being used to inspire the next generation of changemakers. A huge thank you to the Cambridge Judge Business School team for spotlighting our work! 👉 Read the full blog post via the link in the comments. #TechForGood #SocialImpact #Innovation #CambridgeJudge #GlobalHealth #DigitalID #BusinessSchool

The World Bank’s latest ID4D–Global Findex data shows both progress and persistent gaps: 🔹 800 million people still lack official proof of identity — over half are children. 🔹 2.9 billion people remain without access to digital IDs for online services. 🔹 Women, rural residents, and the poorest communities are disproportionately excluded. Without an ID, everyday essentials — from healthcare to mobile connectivity — become inaccessible. The digital divide starts with an identity divide. We believe that everyone, everywhere, deserves a trusted way to prove who they are. That’s why we’re building biometric and digital ID tools designed for the world’s most challenging contexts, ensuring last-mile inclusion for people often left out of traditional systems. 📑 Read more about the World Bank's findings: https://lnkd.in/evvv_KCz

🌍 Happy World Science Day for Peace and Development! Celebrated every 10 November, this day reminds us that science is a common good, one that fuels innovation, inclusion, and collaboration across borders. Simprints' biometric technology strengthens health systems to data-driven solutions that empower communities, helping science work for people and the planet. As we enter the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (2024–2033), we’re inspired by UNESCO’s call for “the science we need for 2050”, science that's rooted in trust, transformation, and tomorrow. Let’s celebrate the thinkers, builders, and dreamers shaping a more just and resilient future. ✨ #WorldScienceDay #ScienceForPeace #Biometrics #InnovationForGood #SustainableDevelopment #TechForGood
