Mohamed Shuraih and Yameen Rasheed are from the Maldives and submitted their idea, Blood Drive, to the Sandoz HACk competition. They were one of six finalists selected out of 150 ideas to present to a panel of judges at WIRED Health 2017 in London. These images show part of their journey over the three days that led to winning 20,000 Euros to help fund the implementation of their winning idea as well as Sandoz expert support to bring their idea to life. The Maldives has the highest prevalence of Thalassemia in the world: this disease affects almost 1/5 Maldivians, according to Mohamed's research. One out of every 120 newborn is born with Thalassemia, and Without regular blood transfusions, 85 percent of these children will die by the age of five, he explains. Put simply, the demand for blood donors is greater than the number of people willing to give blood. Blood Drive is a blood-donation app that connects blood donors in the Maldives. Through social media, and an innovative rewards system, it incentivizes people to give blood. With his Sandoz HACk idea, Mohamed hopes to ease the burden of Thalassemia in his country.
