Can we use technology in order to prevent the next big disease outbreak? Polina Brangel, a young ambitious researcher, elucidates how her interdisciplinary research is being used to monitor and predict Ebola outbreaks in Africa. Join her as she shares her experiences and unfolds her fascinating story. Polina Brangel is a Researcher at the London Centre for Nanotechnology. She holds a PhD in Materials and bioengineering from Imperial College London. She is a strong advocate of delivering efficient diagnostics tools for disease prevention and better patient management.
Her work focuses on the development of smartphone support systems for early, rapid and cheap detection of the deadliest infectious diseases, including Ebola virus. She has conducted multiple fields studies in Africa to evaluate her tools. Recently she has also provided a technological consultation for the World Health Organization on the evaluation of on-field diagnostic tests.
Her main objective is to empower countries with limited medical laboratory capacity by providing low-cost portable smartphone-connected diagnostic tests. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
