Distributed Medical Image Analysis and Diagnosis through Crowd-Sourced Games: A Malaria Case Study

In this work we investigate whether the innate visual recognition and learning capabilities of untrained humans can be used in conducting reliable microscopic analysis of biomedical samples toward diagnosis. For this purpose, we designed entertaining digital games that are interfaced with artificial...
