The app allows for a swift detection of asphyxia in babies, and consequently, a prompt referral for a potentially lifesaving treatment.

Aniebo, also a student of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, designed a malaria-detecting mobile app which transforms any mobile phone with a camera into a microscope.

The app, which detects malaria from blood samples, also indicates the type of malaria andprescribes possible courses of treatment.

Both apps have been shortlisted as part of the Mayor of London’s Internationl Student Innovation Awards, placing the Nigerian innovators at the forefront of innovations in London universities.

An excited Ndimou said the award would mean“that my team and I are one step closer to realising our dream of saving millions
?of new-born lives in Nigeria and many other developing countries.”

The International Student Innovation Awards was set up to highlight the work of international students in the United Kingdom, and also to provide students with some financial assistance to take their innovation to the next stage of development.
