There's an identity crisis in global health.

850 million people all around the globe don't have any form of recognition whatsoever.

全球有八億五千萬人完全沒有任何形式的身份識別。

That's no birth certificate, no national insurance or Social Security number.

沒有出生證明、沒有國民保險或社會安全號碼。

This makes them functionally invisible in the eyes of governments and the eyes of many of the systems that are there to protect them.

這讓他們在政府眼中，以及在許多保護他們的系統眼中，形同虛設。

With Simprints, our goal is to make sure that everyone, everywhere, no matter where they're born in the world, has access to digital IDs and life saving healthcare.

透過 Simprints，我們的目標是確保世界上每個人，無論出生在哪裡，都能獲得數位身份證和挽救生命的醫療保健。

Osiya Bura is a very typical Ghanaian rural community where everyone knows each other.

Osiya Bura 是一個非常典型的迦納鄉村社區，大家彼此認識。

You'd find children playing football, volleyball, girls splitting their hair, children running around.

你會看到孩子們在踢足球、打排球，女孩們在編頭髮，孩子們到處跑。

這是一個非常、非常熱鬧的社區。

Osira is one of thousands of towns across Ghana and all over the world where simperence is helping health accurately identify the patients and link them to the right medical records so that moms and dads can know their kids are staying healthy.

What's unique about the SimPrint ARM partnership is that we're working to ensure our technology is specifically configured for the unique characteristics of a local population.

SimPrint ARM 合作夥伴關係的獨特之處在於，我們致力於確保我們的技術能針對當地人口的獨特特徵進行專門配置。

Using ARM compute power and AI, we're assembling a training data set for machine learning that takes a really diverse cross section of infants.

運用 ARM 計算能力與 AI，我們正在建立一個機器學習的訓練資料集，涵蓋非常多元的嬰幼兒族群。

We use existing smartphone and tablets, tablet cameras to be able to take a combination of the face, ear and even the sole of their feet to predict how that infant will grow.

我們利用現有的智慧型手機和平板電腦、平板相機，擷取臉部、耳朵甚至是腳底的影像組合，來預測嬰幼兒的成長狀況。

So when the algorithm sees them again, say in three to six months time, we're able to recognize them and link them back to that original health record.

這樣一來，當演算法在三到六個月後再次看到他們時，我們就能辨識出他們，並將他們連結回最初的健康紀錄。

This is a tiny amount of software using really high energy efficient technology that means it can literally reach the most remote communities all over the world.

這是一小部分的軟體，運用了真正高能效的技術，意味著它能觸及全球最偏遠的社區。

I think 10 years ago this would have been science fiction.

我認為十年前這簡直是科幻小說。

It would have been something that any team, anywhere on the planet was able to do.

這曾是地球上任何團隊、任何地方都能做到的事情。

It can help us to know every history about that client, especially the children when they come.

這能幫助我們瞭解客戶的每一項病史，特別是來就診的孩子們。

So we know that this particular child, this is what I'm supposed to give at this particular time.

所以我們知道這個特定的孩子，在這個特定時間，我應該給予什麼。

When you have this near real time data from multiple clinics, multiple sources all over the country, you can paint a really accurate map of coverage.

當你擁有來自全國各地、多個診所、多個來源的近乎即時的數據時，你就能描繪出一幅精確的覆蓋地圖。

Which kids have been vaccinated, which kids have potentially fallen behind.

哪些孩子接種了疫苗，哪些孩子可能落後了。

SimPrints is a key partner for Iran because they are working with governments on how they can analyze that data and distribute their resources in a more efficient way.

SimPrints 是伊朗的重要合作夥伴，因為他們正與政府合作，探討如何更有效地分析數據並分配資源。

We're working directly with the Ministry of Health in Ghana and many other countries to use this data to make sure that leaders and decision makers can see the big picture, to close those coverage gaps that can not only save a lot of lives, but

我們正與迦納衛生部及許多其他國家直接合作，利用這些數據確保領導者和決策者能看到全局，縮小覆蓋範圍的差距，這不僅能挽救許多生命，

in the process reduce the cost of vaccine delivery around the world.

同時也能降低全球疫苗接種的成本。

We're bringing accountability into the system.

No child needs to die again from something that is entirely preventable.

沒有孩子需要再因為完全可以預防的事情而死亡。

Once every child can clearly be identified, I would consider that a great fulfillment.

一旦每個孩子都能被清楚識別，我認為這將是巨大的成就。

I don't believe that technology is always the answer, but when it is, it can be transformative.

我不認為科技總是解決辦法，但當它是解決辦法時，它可以帶來變革。
