The world’s first open-source biometric ID with privacy at its core

“We cannot vaccinate the children who we do not know exist. We need affordable, secure digital identification systems, like Simprints, that can store a child’s medical history, and that can be accessed even in places without reliable electricity.”

“Simprints could become the first source of providing identity to hundreds of millions of children without identity now. It can allow these children access to services and protection from harm — something that they do not have today.”

“The Simprints project has been one of our strongest and most successful ones. It’s helped address previous uncertainties around vaccination follow-up and identification. By combining digital tools for enrolment and biometrics for reliable identification, we supported stronger vaccination tracking and care. The impact created has been highly beneficial.”

“The beauty of the biometric component is that it makes it easy for patient identification and follow-up.”

“Simprints solves a major challenge in our efforts to reach the poorest mothers and children. We have worked closely with their team for years since research and development began in 2014, and we believe this solution has been designed from the ground up to be context appropriate, cost-effective, and scalable.”

“The Simprints team were incredibly collaborative and really worked with us as a partner. They worked to understand the design and supported us to deliver on the goals of the project. I found that valuable as a partner in the project and not just as a tech vendor.”
