Can 68 cents of engineering save 51 billion lives?
Discover how two brilliant, low-cost inventions from Stanford's Manu Prakash can diagnose Malaria. This video explores how simple, ingenious design can address global health crises through accessible engineering.
In collaboration with the Gates Foundation, engineer Mark Rober examines the work of Manu Prakash at Stanford. The focus is on two specific laboratory inventions: the Foldscope and the Paperfuge. When used together, these tools cost only 68 cents.
These devices demonstrate how purposeful engineering can create a massive positive impact on global health. By utilizing simple, brilliant design, these tools provide a way to diagnose Malaria in resource-limited settings.
