$31,000 per dose is what 18yearold Dominic’s Haemophilia A preventive medication costs every month. Despite some subsidies, his family is still laden with a significant financial load. Similarly, 15yearold Jue Ming’s Haemophilia B’s medication regimen costs around $7,500 every 10 days. Even with some government financial assistance, the family's lifestyle is impacted, cutting back on the extras to make ends meet.

Meanwhile, 13yearold Constance grapples with managing her Type 1 Diabetes, especially in maintaining a stable blood glucose level during her longer school hours. Will a new device that promises to monitor and manage her glucose levels easily be the key to help her better manage her condition?
