A locally shot film, told by locals, for the wider world and putting the focus on how developments in technology now put diagnosis at your fingertips.  

Innovation is fundamental to achieving elimination of Neglected Tropical Diseases and FIND wanted the drivers of this important project to tell their own story. 

With travel restrictions in place we went to our trusted and incredibly hardworking contact, cameraman George Muiruri, who followed a day in the life with the team running this prototype test for schistosomiasis in Kwale, Kenya.

This is a good illustration of how we apply our approach of working with local film crew to make the most of their expertise and knowledge, whilst reducing the environmental footprint that film production has historically been associated with.

As digital transformation extends its impact around the world, innovation in data management means that through diagnostics networks, low and middle-income countries have a chance to make better use of scant resources.

FIND, the Foundation for Innovation in New Diagnostics, have been our pandemic partners – our challenge has been to make the complicated world of diagnostics accessible to all.

Using remote crews to film Zoom-led interviews and working alongside Infinity Communications, we made this film to be shown across the world.
