Malaria Eradication with Drones and AI

SORA Technology provides solutions that efficiently eliminate malaria-transmitting mosquito larvae in stagnant water using drones and AI. Compared to traditional malaria control methods, this approach requires fewer human resources, lower costs, and reduces the use of insecticides.
Its low environmental impact and ability to suppress the emergence of malaria-transmitting mosquitoes have garnered significant attention from regions severely affected by malaria. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, SORA Technology aims to address the global challenge of eradicating malaria, one of the world’s three major infectious diseases that infects over 200 million people and causes more than 600,000 deaths annually*.
