• Title: Simulating Malaria Detection in Laboratories using Deep Learning
• Authors: Onyekachukwu R. Okonji
• Abstract summary: Malaria is usually diagnosed by a microbiologist by examining a small sample of blood smear. Reducing mortality from malaria infection is possible if it is diagnosed early and followed with appropriate treatment. The WHO has set audacious goals of reducing malaria incidence and mortality rates by 90% in 2030 and eliminating malaria in 35 countries by that time.

• Abstract: Malaria is usually diagnosed by a microbiologist by examining a small sample of blood smear. Reducing mortality from malaria infection is possible if it is diagnosed early and followed with appropriate treatment. While the WHO has set audacious goals of reducing malaria incidence and mortality rates by 90% in 2030 and eliminating malaria in 35 countries by that time, it still remains a difficult challenge. Computer-assisted diagnostics are on the rise these days as they can be used effectively as a primary test in the absence of or providing assistance to a physician or pathologist. The purpose of this paper is to describe an approach to detecting, localizing and counting parasitic cells in blood sample images towards easing the burden on healthcare workers.

  Tuberculosis persists as a global health crisis, especially in resource-limited populations and remote regions. In this work, we introduce an explainable self-supervised self-train learning network tailored for tuberculosis case screening. The network achieves an outstanding overall accuracy of 98.14% and demonstrates high recall and precision rates of 95.72% and 99.44%, respectively.

  Malaria is a major health issue worldwide, and its diagnosis requires scalable solutions that can work effectively with low-cost microscopes (LCM) Deep learning-based methods have shown success in computer-aided diagnosis from microscopic images. These methods need annotated images that show cells affected by malaria parasites and their life stages. Annotating images from LCM significantly increases the burden on medical experts compared to annotating images from high-cost microscopes (HCM)

  We introduce COVID-Net US, a highly efficient, self-attention deep convolutional neural network design tailored for COVID-19 screening from lung POCUS images. Experimental results show that the proposed COVID-Net US can achieve an AUC of over 0.98 while achieving 353X lower architectural complexity, 62X lower computational complexity, and 14.3X faster inference times on a Raspberry Pi. To advocate affordable healthcare and artificial intelligence for resource-constrained environments, we have made COVID-Net US open source and publicly available as part of the COVID-Net open source initiative.

  Malaria microscopy, microscopic examination of stained blood slides to detect parasite Plasmodium, is considered to be a gold-standard for detecting malaria. We propose to create a deep learning-based method to automatically detect (localize) the plasmodium parasites in the photograph of stained film. To facilitate the research in machine learning-based malaria microscopy, we introduce a new large scale microscopic image malaria dataset.
