Arm technology, financial support, and people are having a transformative effect on the healthcare of the world’s most vulnerable populations. We see that in Simprints, a non-profit tech startup linking people to their health records via a low-cost, highly accurate mobile scanner that runs open source identification algorithms optimized for scarred, worn, and burned fingerprints.

Or consider Khushi Baby, a necklace that helps ensure children receive their correct immunizations. It uses Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to sync a child’s immunization data stored on the necklace with a smartphone and the cloud.

And then there’s Literacy Bridge, a charitable organization that uses talking books to help those in extreme poverty gain the health and agricultural knowledge they need to reduce maternal and child mortality, hunger, and chronic malnutrition.

Children for Health, another non-profit, also teaches families about healthcare. It uses digital media, storytelling and other content to reach children in a relevant, fun, and compelling way so they stand a better chance against malaria, HIV/AIDS, and other life-threatening diseases.
