Students Design NEW App to Diagnose Malaria

Lifelens is the App which could be could be especially useful in Sub-Saharan Africa – where malaria kills thousands of children each and every day.

Right now, the only malaria tests given in this region consist of cotton swabs that change color when in contact with infected blood.  This current method results in about a 60% false positives, so billions of dollars are spent/wasted yearly medicating those who are not sick!

What would you create an App for?
