IIT-B researchers create AI model to identify malaria parasites
Researchers from IIT-Bombay have created an AI-based model using proteomics technology that can help differentiate between two major species of malaria parasites, P falciparum and P vivax. These species are not differentiable using the rapid diagnostic tests (RDT), Shalini Aggarwal, who was part of the study, said. The researchers are currently working on developing a diagnostic kit prototype.
