Effective creation of ground truth data-set for Malaria diagnosis

The goal is to reduce mortality rates related to malaria, particularly in marginalised communities. Several Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques have been used to solve challenges in the existing malaria diagnosis tools. The presentation summarizes the project, which has collected a dataset of 10,000 blood sample images (stained blood smear). Using the data, an open-source annotation tool was created. Working with the AI4D (Artificial Intelligence for Development) the final aim is to develop a mobile application that will assist lab technologists in malaria diagnosis
