James Bradford: Saving Lives and Preventing Injuries on Roads with Technology

James Bradford: Saving Lives and Preventing Injuries on Roads with Technology
James: Thanks for having me, Spiffy. Road crashes disproportionately affect youth, as they are the leading cause of death for people aged 5 to 29 years worldwide. The combination of poor road design and conditions near schools, along with the special vulnerability of children, exposes them to daily risks of road injury or death and poor air quality, while also discouraging walking and biking. An estimated 500 children die on the roads every day, more than 10,000 suffer life-changing injuries, and many more are affected by air pollution. A quarter of those who die on the roads are pedestrians and cyclists.

Danna Ingleton: Collecting and Sharing Insights on Human Rights, Climate, and More
Danna: Thanks for having me, Spiffy. At HURIDOCS, we help people collect, process, and communicate important information about human rights, climate change, and more. We develop our own open-source software, enabling activists and change-makers to securely store their data and ensure it is usefully organized for advocacy or court cases. We even use machine learning to help them find important information faster! Our tool is called Uwazi, which means “openness” in Swahili, and we have more than 300 partners around the world.

Gary Padmore: Using Music and Art as a Vehicle for Healing and Restoration
Gary: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! With the help of health experts and community leaders, we're using music and the arts as a vehicle for healing and restoration. This happens naturally through all of our education concerts, but more specifically through a program that we've named Take a Breath. Our hope is that people walk away with tangible tools that allow them to move through whatever path towards wellness they may be on.
