Evaluation of the identification of Plasmodia forms in thick droplet slides and blood distention using artificial intelligence (AI)

Objectives

*Original title in Portuguese: Avaliação da identificação de formas de Plasmódios em lâminas de gota espessa e distensão sanguínea, por meio de inteligência artificial (AI) The main objective of this project is to develop a low-cost malaria diagnosis system (prototype), using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to be used on mobile devices (mHealth)

To evaluate and identify of Plasmodia forms in thick droplet slides and blood distention using artificial intelligence.

Principal Investigators / Focal Persons

Giselle Maria Rachid Viana

Rationale and Abstract

For this, a prototype system for diagnosing malaria will be developed to be used on mobile devices, which guarantees accuracy, speed and low cost, through segmentation strategies, digital image processing of the Plamodia stages, machine learning and neural networks. , with the purpose of identifying the species of Plasmodia, categorizing the species and determining the parasite density.
