The first episode of the three-part documentary series “Being Digi-Sapiens” was released today by Warner Bros. Discovery, in which Swedish inventor, roboticist and YouTuber Simon Gertz travels across Europe to see how technology is changing our daily lives. The series was produced with the support of Huawei and showcases a wide range of digital innovations that go beyond the brand’s own products.

The first episode, “Connecting with Ourselves,” looks at the impact of digital technology on our homes, our health, and our hospitals. After starting out in a tech-enhanced home with fiber optics in Bonn, said to have one of the “fastest internet connections in Germany,” Simon heads to a cutting-edge sports and health lab to learn firsthand how professional and amateur athletes are benefiting from modern data collection. Finally, Simon visits Barcelona’s historic Hospital de la Santa Creu I Sant Pau for a crash course in how to use the latest technology to help patients more effectively.

“The idea of ​​becoming ‘Digi-Sapiens’ represents the next step in our evolution as digital technology transforms our natural world, improves our skills and expands our capabilities,” said Vikram Channa, Vice President and Head of Content and Products, Warner Bros. Discovery Greater China and Southeast Asia. “The documentary aims to inspire viewers to use the power of technology wisely and creatively.

The result is improved stride and endurance in runners, more efficient swimming strokes and a more balanced weight distribution on both legs when skiing. But it’s not just top athletes who can benefit. At Huawei’s state-of-the-art lab in Helsinki, Simone discovers that her biological age, according to the data on her watch, is younger than her age in calendar years. She also tries out a treadmill to determine her maximum lung capacity.

Sant Pau Hospital in Barcelona, ​​Spain Sant Pau may be old, but it is by no means old. The hospital uses cutting-edge technology to improve the treatment of patients. When Simone visits Sant Pau’s Dimension Lab to explore the applications of virtual reality in medicine, the doctor presents her with a replica of a human heart made using a 3D printer. Simone had no idea it was so big…
