Paul

Paul is 42.

Designer. Father. Married. Two children.

He realises his eyesight is deteriorating.

The optician finds nothing. The clinic does.

Diagnosis: rare eye disease.

In twelve months, Paul will be blind. Completely.

The disease is hereditary.

After the diagnosis? Nothing.

No system. No contact person. No answer.

Paul has lots of questions.

How do I continue to live?

Are my children affected?

How do I protect my family?

Is there any help? Who will pay? Who will listen?

Can it be done anonymously?

Paul is not an isolated case.

Every year, 30 million people in Europe are diagnosed with a rare disease. In addition, there are millions with disabilities, chronic illnesses, psychological stress and addiction.

In total: 250 million people.

All with very real issues.

The traditional healthcare system has no answer to many of them.

And who can help them?
