Malaria Detector coming soon to Nigeria

I don't have to let you know that jungle fever(Malaria) is a standout amongst the most deadliest ailment on the planet, in spite of the way that it is treatable and
preventable, World Health Organization (WHO) in 2015 assessed that 438,000 individuals passed on from malaria mainly in sub-Saharan Africa.

In any case, John Lewandowski, a 26-year-old PhD understudy in mechanical designing at MIT made a mechanical gadget called RAM (Rapid Assessment of Malaria) that can analyze intestinal sickness from a drop of blood in five seconds.

With a single drop of blood, Lewandowski’s RAM device can accurately detect the presence of malaria using Magneto-Optical Detection as early as a week before symptoms even present themselves. Like a pregnancy test, the RAM analyzes the sample and returns either a positive or negative response.


Beyond the outer box and LCD display, the RAM consists mainly of a circuit board, a laser, some magnets and an SD card reader.

A recent filed test in India yielded results that were accurate 93% to 97% of the time, and the company will launch a new field trial this summer in Nigeria that hopes will test as many as 5,000 patients.

This is a good development, coming to Nigeria.
