Lia speaks on living more than half of her life with an undiagnosed disease. She emphasises the importance of technology in unlocking clues of microscopic proportions, with the hopes of finding answers which may provide comfort in knowledge. Lia is among the first participating in a study which utilizes a form of crowdsourcing, and advanced gene sequencing technology, analyzing the whole genome blueprint in order to find any changes that may be the root of her symptoms. These answers have the potential of being life-altering.
