Bianca Dunne and her friend Georgia Di Mattos have come up with a sexual health app that allows you to discreetly share your sexual health status with others via your phone.

Bianca Dunne and Georgia Di Mattos: leading the way with sexual health app iPlaySafe

If we have become familiarised with one thing during the pandemic – apart from Netflix and baking – it’s health testing. Scraping our tonsils, sticking things up our nostrils, popping bodily fluids in post boxes, downloading QR codes, scanning ourselves endlessly. It’s become second nature. (As has having various bits of us analysed, from our gut microbiome to our DNA structure, for reasons of health future-proofing, ancestral curiosity etc). 

Particularly since Covid, discussing and sharing our health status with others has become second nature – so why not apply this new awareness to our sexual health?
