weliveinthefuture:

Attach a lens to the back of a Windows 7 phone, take a drop of blood from the patient and you have instant results and huge improvement over the “current ‘state-of-the-art’ malaria detection method used in these areas involves a cotton swap test that results in only 40% accuracy.”

Incredible.
