- **Event Description**: How can a smartphone replace a lab microscope? Discover breakthrough tech transforming global healthcare with Saumya Reni.About this EventIn the fight against global epidemics, time is the most valuable resource. Yet, for millions living in the Global South, the journey to a diagnosis is slowed by a lack of infrastructure and specialized personnel. How can we bridge the gap between advanced medical technology and the remote communities that need it most?Diagnosing deadly tropical diseases, such as Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), has traditionally relied on expensive laboratories and expert microscopists. For patients in resource-limited settings, this "gold standard" is often out of reach, leading to delayed treatment and preventable mortality. But a revolution in biomedical engineering is underway, one that aims to put the power of a diagnostic laboratory into a device we already carry in our pockets.In this talk, Saumya Kareem Reni explores how Artificial Intelligence and advanced signal processing are dismantling the barriers to global health. She will showcase the evolution of "Point-of-Care" diagnostics, moving from bulky laboratory equipment to handheld, AI-driven solutions. The lecture will highlight her seminal work on mobile-based malaria detection and her ongoing research into parasite surveillance tools developed in collaboration with leading medical institutions in the UK.This talk is not just about the technology of the future; it is about the engineering of equity. As sensors become cheaper and AI becomes smarter, are we moving toward a world where our smartphones become our doctors? Saumya will examine the challenges and triumphs of deploying high-tech solutions in low-resource environments, asking if we finally possess the digital tools to make tropical diseases a thing of the past.By booking to attend events at the Royal Institution, you confirm that you have read and agree to the Ri's Event image byRi
