Client: Curve Tomorrow
Project: Case study & blog

Right in the middle of the COVID-19 epidemic, I joined the digital health agency Curve Tomorrow to tell the story of their research project, which was equally exciting and impactful. Australian scientists from the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Melbourne had just discovered that the Bacille Calmette-Guerin, a century-old tuberculosis vaccine, may reduce the severity of coronavirus symptoms. They wanted to test the vaccine with healthcare workers on the frontlines and received a $10 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to make it happen.

Curve Tomorrow and its spin-off company, WeGuide, were asked to build a digital data collection platform to assist in monitoring the BCG trial’s results. The tech team worked around the clock to build the app in just two and a half weeks. I was invited to tell their story via the app.
