MalariaSpot vs The Blox

Do you want to play hunting parasites in real blood samples? You only need one minute! MalariaSpot is a game developed by researchers who have gamified the process of diagnosing malaria. There are not enough specialists in the world to diagnose malaria... and you can help! We combine the results from several players to obtain an image analysis as reliable as the one made by a specialist. While playing you will hunt for "Plasmodiums", the parasites responsible for malaria. The best you do it, the higher your score will be and the furthest you will advance in the game. Your goal? Find all the parasites in real blood samples from malaria patients. You can find out more about the MalariaSpot Project at www.malariaspot.org Thanks for helping us by playing! :) *They have been kindly provided by Dr. John Frean from the National Institute for Communicable Diseases in Johannesburg (South Africa), and have been previously used to assess the possibility of using automated image processing systems to count the number of parasites in the research article "Reliable enumeration of malaria parasites in thick blood films using digital image analysis" (Malaria Journal 2009, 8:218).

Welcome to The Blox! We are a series of tools and assets designed to entertain, educate, and empower entrepreneurs - for free! Our flagship asset is a competition docu-series about 20 startups living under a single roof, competing to se who is the best startup on The Blox. This show is exclusively available on the app. Use it to binge-watch their trials and tribulations in the largest live-in startup competition on the planet. We also have hundreds of hours of video and audio based consultations between our world-class mentors and our startups. This will allow you to be a fly-on-the-wall of a startup accelerator - so you can learn alongside our teams. Use the app to filter by topic to ensure you're learning only the things that are most relevant to you! The app also features a series of guided meditations designed to help entrepreneurs harness the power of their brainspace. By doing so, we can physically strenghten your brain, allowing you to more easily build your business. We also have functional music, AKA bi-naural beats, which is ambient music with a scientific twist. Use the app to pick a task, such as study, sleep, flow state, etc. Our music will then auto-tune subliminal frequencies into the background of the music that will sync your brainwaves to the optimal frequency for the task. Use it to help you turn on your focus for the day, or relax at night when it's time to wind down.
