Being Digi-Sapiens, Connecting with Ourselves, Episode one (Discovery)

(July 2024) Connecting with Ourselves is the first episode of the three-part documentary series “Being Digi-Sapiens” released by Warner Bros. Discovery. It features the Swedish inventor, roboticist and YouTuber Simone Giertz as she travels across Europe to see how technology is transforming our daily lives. The series was made with support from Huawei and features a broad range of digital innovations, reaching far beyond the brand’s own products.

“Connecting with Ourselves” explores digital technology’s impact on our homes, fitness, and medical care. After kicking things off in a tech-enhanced fiber-connected home in Bonn, claiming to have the “fastest internet in Germany”, Simone heads to a state-of-the-art sports and health lab to see first-hand how both professional and amateur athletes are benefiting from cutting-edge data collection. Finally, Simone visits Barcelona’s historical Hospital de la Santa Creu I Sant Pau to get a crash course in how the latest technologies are being harnessed to help patients more effectively.
