SORA Technology Combats Malaria in Africa with AI and Drone Innovations

Malaria Crisis in Africa: Malaria remains a significant health crisis in Africa, accounting for 94% of global cases and 95% of deaths, with 246 million infections and 569,000 deaths reported in 2023. The disease disproportionately affects children under five, particularly in countries like Nigeria and the DRC.

SORA Technology's Innovative Approach: SORA Technology is leveraging drones, satellites, and AI to revolutionize malaria control by using precision mapping to identify mosquito breeding sites, allowing targeted spraying of biolarvicides rather than broad, indiscriminate applications.

Operational Efficiency and Cost Reduction: SORA's drone-led operations have demonstrated significant improvements in efficiency, achieving a 62% to 90% reduction in mapping time and a 70% decrease in labor costs, making malaria control more affordable for public health programs.

Broader Impact on Public Health and Agriculture: Beyond malaria, SORA is also focusing on agricultural improvements and early-warning systems for other diseases, indicating a shift towards evidence-based, technology-driven solutions in Africa's public health and agricultural sectors.
