About
Zzapp Malaria is an Israeli startup that developed an AI-based platform to significantly increase the effectiveness and reduce the cost of large-scale anti-malaria operations. The platform uses satellite imagery, climate data, and topography to identify malaria transmission hotspots and optimize intervention strategies. A mobile app then guides field workers in implementing these strategies, including identifying and treating water bodies where mosquitoes breed. Zzapp Malaria is a spin-off of Sight Diagnostics.
