Key Points:
- Gazelle is a compact, rugged, battery-operated diagnostic device.
- Gazelle can be used inexpensively, with no cold chain requirements by entry level healthcare workers in areas with limited access, resources or electricity.
- Gazelle has a unique approach that uses hemozoin to find malaria accurately in about one minute, said Patti White, co-founder and CEO of Hemex Health.
- This research shows that when Gazelle was tested in the field, it accurately and quickly found malaria species that were not successfully identified by rapid diagnostic tests.
