Hasta La Ideas

A team of researchers at UC Berkeley are developing technology that will allow anyone anywhere in the world to diagnose malaria without any other equipment than a mobile phone with a camera and the microscope add-on. The idea behind the CellScope is to facilitate malaria detection and treatment without the need for a doctor on site to make the diagnosis. All you have to do is put a glass with a blood sample in front of the microscope, turn on the LED lights and look for the tell-tale blue dots that reveal wether the patient has contracted malaria. If need be, the mobile image can be sent to experts anywhere in the world for analysis.brbr
