Malaria is a worldwide disease killing between 500.000 and 800.00 people every year. It affects lots of countries and spreads quickly.

Until now, malaria is diagnosed either with paper stripes or, the most common and accurate method, visual inspection through a microscope. But there are new technologies to solve this problem, such as Computer Vision and machine learning.

About the Speaker:  Eduardo Peire is an engineer from Barcelona who developed a device under 50€, he will explain how it's device is able to diagnose malaria from a blood drop with Convolutional Neural Networks using Keras on the top of Tensorflow.
