Another Chance to a Diagnosis

The goal with Wilhelm Foundation's photo project the UNDIAGNOSED is to give the ones who suffer from an undiagnosed disease another chance to a diagnosis by presenting their photograph at a photo exhibition at the International Conference on Rare and Undiagnosed Diseases. We also distribute a booklet of the photographs and related medical information to all specialists at world congresses to increase the chance of diagnosis for the Undiagnosed.

The participants in the project are those who have an undiagnosed disease and undergone an investigation on an Undiagnosed Diseases Program (UDP) and are nevertheless undiagnosed.

Photo Project the Undiagnosed raise awareness about the undiagnosed diseases, which are everywhere in the world and at all different ages to the general public and health care.

Highlight "the Beauty and Diversity"

Wilhelm Foundation also thinks it is incredibly important to show the beauty and diversity of all those with undiagnosed diseases, which Rick Guidotti Positive Exposure does in a fantastic way and worked with for more than 20 years. He works internationally with organizations, medical schools and schools to bring about a change in society's attitudes toward people living with one and  genetic, physical, behavioral or intellectual difference.
