Summary
This study tests whether wearable devices like wristbands or earphones can detect malaria infection early by tracking changes in temperature, heart rate, and other body signals. Thirty-two healthy adults will be exposed to the malaria parasite or a placebo in a controlled setting. Researchers will compare device readings with standard blood tests to see if the wearables can spot infection before symptoms appear.
