Compact design of a planar compliant XY precision positioning stage: For automated malaria diagnosis using a microscope

Malaria remains a major burden on global health, with roughly 200 million reported cases worldwide and more than 400,000 deaths per year. According to the World Health Organization, ninety-three percent of all deaths due to the disease occurred in developing countries in sub-Saharan Africa. This large percentage is directly correlated to the...

Potential enrichments in malaria diagnostics: hyperspectral imaging and group-equivariant neural networks

Proper diagnostics are essential in the combat against severe diseases which mainly have big impacts in remote areas in poor countries. A focus direction within the NC4I group at DCSC, Delft University of Technology, is the development of new imaging modalities and the design and implementation of smarter algorithms for improved detection of...
