光学显微镜常用于疟疾的现场诊断。然而，这是耗时的，结果的质量在很大程度上取决于显微镜的技能。自动化疟疾光学显微镜是一个很有前途的解决方案，但它仍然是一个挑战和一个活跃的研究领域。目前的工具通常价格昂贵，涉及复杂的硬件组件，这使得很难在资源有限的地区部署它们。我们设计了一个名为Malaria Screener的Android移动的应用程序，它使智能手机成为自动疟疾光学显微镜的一个经济而有效的解决方案。这款移动的应用程序利用现代智能手机的高分辨率摄像头和计算能力来筛选薄的和厚的血液涂片图像，以寻找恶性疟原虫寄生虫。Malaria Screener在其载玻片筛选过程中结合了图像采集、涂片图像分析和结果可视化，并配备了数据库，以方便访问所采集的数据。Malaria Screener使筛查过程更快，更一致，更少依赖人类专业知识。该应用程序是模块化的，允许其他研究小组整合他们的方法和模型，用于图像处理和机器学习，同时获取和分析他们的数据。
Light microscopy is often used for malaria diagnosis in the field. However, it is time-consuming and quality of the results depends heavily on the skill of microscopists. Automating malaria light microscopy is a promising solution, but it still remains a challenge and an active area of research. Current tools are often expensive and involve sophisticated hardware components, which makes it hard to deploy them in resource-limited areas. We designed an Android mobile application called Malaria Screener, which makes smartphones an affordable yet effective solution for automated malaria light microscopy. The mobile app utilizes high-resolution cameras and computing power of modern smartphones to screen both thin and thick blood smear images for P. falciparum parasites. Malaria Screener combines image acquisition, smear image analysis, and result visualization in its slide screening process, and is equipped with a database to provide easy access to the acquired data. Malaria Screener makes the screening process faster, more consistent, and less dependent on human expertise. The app is modular, allowing other research groups to integrate their methods and models for image processing and machine learning, while acquiring and analyzing their data.
