"Infectious diseases such as malaria remain a leading cause of death in many
regions. This is partly because people there don’t have access to medical
diagnostic tools that can detect these diseases (along with a range of
non-infectious diseases) at an early stage, when there is more scope for
treatment.
It’s a challenge scientists have risen to, with a goal to democratise health
care for economically disadvantaged people the world over.
My colleagues and I have developed a new method for the investigation of
biological cells which is small enough to fit into a smartphone lens.
While we have so far only tested it in the lab, we hope in the future this
nanotechnology could enable disease detection in real-world medical settings
using just a mobile device. We hope our work can eventually help save millions
of lives."
