Innovative Solutions for Malaria Control and Infectious Disease Forecasting  

SORA Technology’s system integrates drone and AI technologies to address malaria control and infectious disease forecasting.
Utilizing fixed-wing drones developed by SORA Technology and proprietary image analysis algorithms, the system captures high-resolution images of water bodies, such as puddles, and accurately identifies areas with a high likelihood of malaria vector mosquito larvae. This targeted approach enables precise application of insecticides, reducing both operational costs and environmental impact.  

The system’s advanced image analysis capabilities also extend to forecasting infectious disease outbreaks. By identifying regions at heightened risk, the technology provides actionable insights to governments and organizations, enabling them to proactively allocate resources such as vaccines and implement preventative measures well in advance of potential outbreaks.
