A message for engineers

Our Autoscope technology detects the malaria parasite from blood films on glass microscope slides with unprecedented accuracy. We've developed a novel approach to image processing and machine learning that enables this level of detection. This is a hard problem to solve, requiring a deep understanding of both computer vision and the biology of the malaria parasite. Our team has made significant progress in scaling this technology to meet the needs of global health organizations.
