An innovative technological project aimed at diagnosing diseases such as malaria, called the “Non-Invasive Malaria Detector System”, was recently presented during the exhibition at Angotic 2023, the main international forum for technologies, communications and innovation.
The demonstration of the technological mechanism is the responsibility of the students of the Telecommunications Institute (ITEL), which uses a technology capable of detecting changes in a patient's red blood cells, allowing a quick diagnosis of the patient's condition. That is, when red blood cells are attacked by malaria, he explains, their shape, color and their concentration in the blood change. Once this change in the state of the blood cells is detected, the device transmits, in two minutes, a signal to the application added to it, reporting the presence of malaria without having to take a blood sample.
