Diagnostic accuracy of an automated microscope solution (miLab™) in detecting malaria parasites in symptomatic patients at point-of-care in Sudan: a case-control study

CONCLUSION: When used in a clinical context, miLab™ demonstrated high sensitivity but low specificity. Expert intervention was shown to be required to improve the device’s specificity in its current version. miLab™ in the corrected mode performed similar to expert microscopy. Before clinical application, more refinement is needed to ensure full workflow automation and eliminate human intervention. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov: …
