Affordable microscope speeds up malaria diagnosis with AI
Short excerpt below. Click through to read at the original source.
Engineers at Stanford University have developed a high-efficiency, battery/solar-operated, autonomous microscope with integrated artificial intelligence that automatically diagnoses malaria in blood smears—a previously tedious process done manually, slide-by-slide, by technicians in the field. The researchers call it Octopi, and believe it could save countless lives through earlier and more accurate diagnosis—and perhaps someday lead to […]
