Zzapp Malaria harnesses innovative AI technologies for the fight against malaria. Zzapp has already protected more than one million people in seven countries from the deadly disease. Zzapp develops malaria elimination strategies powered by artificial intelligence, and delivers them directly to the field through a dedicated mobile app. By analyzing satellite images and topographical maps, Zzapp’s AI identifies malaria transmission hotspots and optimizes malaria elimination strategies for each location. Their map-based mobile app conveys the AI strategies to field workers in simple instructions, ensuring accurate implementation and quick feedback from the field. In addition, their system uses water body sampling data and AI-guided positioning of mosquito traps to measure the size, type, and spread of mosquito populations over time.
