In Thailand, 40% of farming households rely on appx US$2.78 a day for an entire family. Sick livestock means a loss that can devastate a family and threaten their already fragile existence. The team at PODD (aka OpenDream) realised that an early alert could prevent the loss of an entire herd, while also tracking any spillover from animals to humans. Thousands of farmers have been connected through PODD's app and toolkit, and have been instantly transformed into disease detectives. So it's no surprise that neighbouring countries such as Laos and Cambodia are also interested in PODD's solution.
In this, our final podcast in The Trinity Challenge Winners series, Patipat Keng Susumpow and Matt Parker of PODD talk to James Dray (Brunswick Group) about a drooling cow, a housewife who identified an early outbreak of foot-and-mouth, EpiHack, symptom tracking, frontline defences, and one of Matt's official titles: Chief Light Shiner!
