The implementation plan is divided into 6 work packages (WPs).
| No | WP Title | Lead Beneficiary |
|---|---|---|
| WP1 | Project management | 1 - FORTH |
| WP2 | System specifications, end-user requirements, and quality control | 9 - Swiss TPH/CSRS |
| WP3 | Fully automated multiplex diagnostic platform (LabDisk) | 2 - Hahn-Schickard |
| WP4 | Settting up the Disease Data Management System (DDMS) and the Serious GAME | 3 - LSTM |
| WP5 | Pilot implementation of integrated diagnostic platform and ICT tools in Africa | 5 - MoHZ |
| WP6 | Communication and dissemination; exploitation and translation to market | 8 – FTD |
The specific objectives of the DMC-MALVEC are the following:
1. Develop and validate a fully automated and cost effective diagnostic platform (LabDisk) to identify the species ID, monitor the infection status, and determine the insecticide resistance profile, of infected vectors.
2. Upgrade, interface with the LabDisk and validate the Disease Data Management System (DDMS) smart Database, to collate and analyse this new level of data.
3. Upgrade, adapt and validate the serious gaming technology (GAME), to communicate and teach operational end users the importance and use of data output.
4. Implement and disseminate the entire system (LabDisk, DDMS & GAME) in four highly representative sub-African countries, with regard to malaria settings and vector control challenges, at the national vector control programme level and additional end-users, to assist them to make evidence based informed decisions to improve the sustainability and effectiveness of malaria control.
Automated diagnostic platform, data management system and innovative communication tool, for improving the impact of malaria vector control interventions.
DMC-MALVEC is financed by the European Commissions Horizon 2020 Framework under the specific programme: ICT-39-2015 - International partnership building in low and middle income countries (Contract No GA688207) .
Planned duration: 48M (Feb 1, 2016 - Jan 31, 2020)
