Simprints

In a district in one of our projects, over half of facilities were over-reporting Vitamin A Supplementation coverage. Data accuracy stood at 36%. Meanwhile, only 44% of eligible children were actually receiving both required doses. The national figures said one thing, while the verified records said another. By introducing individual-level verification, health teams gained a clearer picture of which children were actually receiving services and which were not. It's hard to close a coverage gap that's invisible. Learn how Simprints is closing this gap: simprints.com/wp-content/upl…

We are thrilled to share that Simprints has been honored with a 2026 Global Recognition Award for Innovation! 🏆🌍 With over 15,000 applicants globally, we are proud to see our team’s hard work recognised at this scale. Most biometric identity technology is built for stable, high-infrastructure environments. At Simprints, we have designed our technology to specifically work in the last-mile context—in remote clinics and fragile health systems—and for populations where previous technologies have failed to reach those in need. By building an inclusive, privacy-first, and offline-ready system, we are proving that innovative technologies can be directed toward global health equity. This recognition belongs to our team, our global partners, and the frontline health workers who use our tools daily to ensure that life-saving services reach the people who need them most. Thank you to the Global Recognition Awards panel for highlighting the power of ethical, inclusive technology. #TheGlobalRecognitionAwards #TechForGood #GlobalHealth #Biometrics #Innovation #DigitalIdentity #SocialImpact

In 2025, Simprints' partners confirmed more than 1.1 million services across Ghana, Ethiopia, and Uganda. 323,041 children vaccinated. 22,313 people's eyesight restored through trachoma surgery. 692,953 patients treated for deworming. Each service was linked to a verified individual at the point of care, helping health workers gain a clearer picture of who has been reached, and who is still being missed.

Computing has shortlisted Simprints' very own Tristram Norman for CTO of the Year - SME at the Digital Technical Leaders Awards 2026. Winners are announced on 2 July. The Awards recognise technology leaders in the UK who are driving innovation and impact. For us, this nomination underscores how innovative technology development can translate directly into real-world impact. This means empowering frontline health workers with the digital tools and systems to deliver healthcare services equitably, ensure continuity of care, and drive stronger data. And when health workers have access to better data, they make better decisions—and in resource-constrained healthcare settings, those decisions can save lives. Congratulations on the well-deserved recognition, Tristram! #techforgood #digitalID #biometrics #leadership

Last month, we brought our global team together on the Turkish coast for our annual Company Offsite. For a distributed organisation like Simprints, time together in person is a chance to connect, collaborate, and get aligned on the work ahead. A few highlights from the week: 🔹 Looking ahead – We explored our long-term vision, reflected on progress, and aligned on priorities for the year ahead. 🔹 Beach Olympics – A chance to step away from the day-to-day and have some fun, while showing that our teamwork and problem-solving hold up just as well on the beach. 🔹 Awards Evening – A moment to recognise colleagues whose hard work and dedication have helped push our mission forward. The week reinforced just how strong this team is, and our shared commitment to improving access to essential services through technology. A huge thank you to our Operations team for making it all happen, and to everyone who contributed their time, ideas, and energy throughout the week. #CompanyOffsite #TeamCulture #GlobalTeam #TechForGood

For years, Simprints developed fingerprint scanners built for the field. They were designed to work where others failed, on worn, scarred, or burnt fingerprints. But hardware is hard to scale and maintain at the last mile. We needed a solution that was just as inclusive, but more affordable. That’s why we've gradually moved to contactless face biometrics. We’ve kept inclusion at the forefront by training our algorithms against diverse datasets, ensuring our technology can work for everyone. And by using Edge AI, our biometrics work on-device and offline, meeting the needs of frontline health workers in rural clinics. The results speak for themselves. In 2025, our face biometrics achieved a 99.43% good scan rate. #EdgeAI #HealthEquity #Biometrics #DigitalInclusion #GlobalHealth

Today, on the @UN Global Day of Parents, we celebrate the commitment of parents everywhere and the vital role they play in building healthier futures for the next generation. This year’s theme, “Together for Parents,” is a reminder that supporting children starts with supporting those who care for them. Across the communities where Simprints works, parents and caregivers are often navigating barriers to accessing essential healthcare and services for their children. By working with our partners to strengthen the delivery of these services, we are supporting more equitable access for the families who rely on them. Whether it’s helping ensure children receive vaccinations on time, supporting continuity of care as they grow, or working with partners to improve access to life-saving nutrition services for vulnerable children, we’re proud to contribute to systems that help families access the care and support they need. #GlobalDayOfParents #TogetherForParents #GlobalHealth #ChildWellbeing #TechForGood

This week, Shana Basdeo attended the Healthcare Innovation Summit Africa #HISA, and one theme came through consistently: scaling digital health requires far more than deploying good technology. It requires asking a fundamental question early on: “Who is in the room when these systems are designed?” Here are Shana's key takeaways from the event. Context cannot be treated as an afterthought. International guidelines and global best practices provide an important foundation, but health tech and AI must be designed with local environments, policy realities, infrastructure constraints, and the end-users in mind. Inclusive AI starts with inclusive decision-making. A powerful session from Akhona Tshangela at WomenLift Health reinforced that the decisions that determine whether health systems work are made long before patients arrive. If AI and digital health infrastructure are to work for everyone, the people shaping these systems must reflect the realities of those delivering and accessing care every day. These conversations strongly mirror the work we're doing at Simprints. Building ethical digital ID solutions means designing for real-world contexts, interoperability, and the individuals ultimately relying on these systems. #HealthcareInnovation #DigitalHealth #HealthTech #Africa #InclusiveAI #Interoperability

This World Hunger Day, we’re pleased to announce a new partnership between Simprints and @acfusa, with support from @EdesiaNutrition's Innovation Fund. Currently, emergency nutrition services that deliver life-saving treatment to thousands of malnourished children each year rely on paper-based records, making continuity of care and post-treatment follow-up nearly impossible. Together, Action Against Hunger USA and Simprints will deploy a biometrically-enabled, electronic medical records system specifically designed for emergency nutrition treatment and prevention services in complex emergencies, improving patient-level follow-up, continuity of care, and data quality. The new system will be piloted as part of an innovative package of interventions aimed to reduce repeated episodes of child malnutrition across three counties in South Sudan. This marks Simprints’ first project in South Sudan and an important step in deepening our work to address malnutrition. #WorldHungerDay #Nutrition #GlobalHealth #DigitalHealth #Biometrics #SouthSudan #Malnutrition
