Great to connect with the Plan International team in London last week! 🤝
Our Strategic Partnerships Lead Jenny Thornton and Partnerships Associate Gemma Kippax had productive conversations spanning AI, health, education, and cash-and-voucher assistance programs.
Seeing the first girl receive her vaccine during the launch brought home what this campaign means for thousands of young people who will now be protected against preventable cancers.
Congratulations to everyone involved! 💪
This momentous occasion saw the Minister of Health officially open HPV vaccination week, a critical step in protecting young people across Sierra Leone from HPV-related cancers.
Last week, Simprints witnessed a milestone moment for health equity in Sierra Leone! 🎉
We had the privilege of attending the official launch of Sierra Leone's Integrated Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Multi-Age Cohort (MAC) Vaccination Campaign.
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.
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.
At Simprints, we're energized 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.
🌍 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.
World Antibiotic Awareness Week is in full swing, and the conversations happening globally are more important than ever.
💊 Technology alone won't solve this—but it's a crucial part of the fight, especially in under-resourced communities.
🦠 The solution? Smarter use of existing antibiotics.
At Simprints, our biometric digital ID helps healthcare workers track patient histories, prevent misuse, and ensure antibiotics reach the right people at the right time.
This World Antibiotic Awareness Week, we're focusing on a critical challenge: antibiotic resistance.
The reality is alarming. 1.27M deaths annually from antibiotic-resistant infections. Common treatments are failing, threatening decades of medical progress.
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.
We’re honoured that our mission to make sure every person counts is being used to inspire the next generation of changemakers.
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.
Without an ID, everyday essentials — from healthcare to mobile connectivity — become inaccessible. The digital divide starts with an identity divide.
The World Bank’s latest ID4D–Global Findex data shows both progress and persistent gaps:
🔹 800M people still lack official proof of identity
🔹 2.9B people remain without access to digital IDs
🔹 Women, rural residents, and the poorest communities are disproportionately excluded.
🌍 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.

Through our partnership with Orbis International and the Federal Ministry of Health Ethiopia, we’re using biometric technology to transform access to eye care.
This recognition belongs to every partner and health worker making sight-saving care possible every day.
Operation Sight’s win at the 2025 Development2030 Awards celebrates the power of partnership in tackling preventable blindness across #Ethiopia.
He holds degrees in aerospace engineering, data science, and operations research. Outside work, he enjoys long distance accompanied by a good history podcast and improvising on the guitar.
It's great to have you in the team, Eric!
Before joining Simprints, he led teams at the United Nations World Food Programme developing high-impact supply chain planning & optimization solutions, following earlier work as data scientist and project lead in an AI software company.
🎉 A warm welcome for our new team member – Eric Combette!
Eric joins Simprints as Engineering Manager, bringing over a decade of experience across the tech and humanitarian sectors.
👉 Our key takeaway from the conference: Technology delivers the greatest impact when built with communities, not just for them.
Thank you to NetHope for convening a community committed to using tech for good.
Our Chief Delivery & Impact Officer, Stephen Taylor shared in “Engineering with Ethics: AI Tools for Humanitarian Applications” how responsible AI can maximise impact while safeguarding people’s rights and dignity.
✨ Looking back on an inspiring week at the NetHope Global Summit 2025:
In partnership with Arm, Bill Hoggarth joined Rosalie Tribe to discuss “Bridging the Divide: Biometric Solutions for Last Mile Healthcare in Ghana,” highlighting how ethical innovation can strengthen healthcare access.
We’re excited to be presenting at the NetHope Virtual Conference today.
Rosalie Tribe, Senior Manager, Social Impact & Innovation at Arm, and Bill Hoggarth, Head of Strategic Partnerships at Simprints, will be discussing “Bridging the Divide: Biometric Solutions for Last Mile Healthcare in Ghana.”
We’ll also be speaking at a virtual session on October 31, where we’ll present on "Bridging the Divide: Biometric Solutions for Last Mile Healthcare in Ghana", together with our partner Arm.
