Self-powered infection control shoes for malaria
Simply wear SMalker shoes on your feet and they will harvest enough electricity while you are walking around. The diagnostic parts are detachable to share with other people if it is necessary. The ultrasonic repellent on the shoes automatically will be operated to keep mosquitos at least 2.5 meter away from the user. The mobile phone surveillance application that is connected with a chip in SMalker by Bluetooth, will alert you when it detects specific antiqens produces by malaria parasites, that are present in the blood. The result will transmit to the malaria surveillance system via mobile application and the data will be analyzed to strength the measurement of malaria cases, monitoring of treatment, and the pinpointing of outbreaks following scale-up of net coverage
