Study summary

In this study, a prospective evaluation of novel malaria diagnostic tools under development will be performed in malaria-endemic countries to assess their clinical performance for detection of malaria at point-of-care (POC). This study aims to support product development efforts and aims to provide early stage (TLR\~5) technology developers with valuable information on performance and basic feasibility data that can help to accelerate development.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Clinical performance assessment

    Point estimates of clinical performance characteristics with 95% confidence intervals (sensitivity, specificity, NPV, PPV, and DOR) of nPOC using nPCR as reference for detecting malaria in patients with symptoms suggestive of malaria

    Time frame: up to 6 months

  2. Concordance

    Point estimate with 95% confidence intervals of the percentage agreement in interpreting malaria diagnostics between the app and visual reading

    Time frame: up to 6 months
