In the past ten years, the Gates Foundation has been committed to the development of the Grand Challenges in Global Health. It has worked with many scientists to brainstorm and innovate. Through this program, Gates has set foot in many areas where others are ashamed to go, such as new toilets, human urine batteries, new condoms that are cooler and safer.
On Thursday, he announced his new challenge plan. “We look forward to a device that can quickly diagnose infectious diseases such as AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, etc. This device can accept different samples such as blood, saliva, and sputum, and the price is close to the people, trustworthy, and can only generate electricity in one day. The small clinic runs for hours. Can you create such a device?†Gates wrote in his blog.
It sounds a bit like the three-recorder in Star Trek, but it doesn't have the same thrill. Gates shared an initial picture of a device designed by scientists that looks quite like a 3D printer. You enter a sample and the device will give a diagnosis. He said that five teams are now working on this challenge, and the picture below is from Stratos, a Seattle health research company.
He said: "In today's technological environment, we propose a good equipment construction concept, there will be many partners to help, this is really great."
However, the future of the plan is very bright and the road is very tortuous. Gates knows that the challenge also faces many difficulties, such as how to make equipment prices affordable and how to make equipment work in areas where medical facilities are scarce. But Gates’ enthusiasm for this challenge makes it attractive.
Gates wrote: "If this idea is realized, the results will be very exciting. But if the plan fails, then we will be very disappointed. However, if a road comes to an end, then we will explore more ways. â€

Organic mung bean starch is a kind of powder formed by the precipitation of mung bean after soaking and grinding with water. Our organic mung bean starch follows the traditional processing ideas and combines modern industrial technology to achieve a more efficient, safer, and more hygienic processing level. The characteristics of mung bean starch are sufficient stickiness, low water absorption, white and shiny color.
Mung bean (Vigna radiata) is a plant in the legume family. Mung beans are mainly grown in India, China, and Southeast Asia. The Chinese have grown mung beans for nearly 2,000 years. They are ubiquitous in China, and there are many types, and numbers. Mung beans are also grown in other countries/regions in South Asia, North America, Brazil, and Europe. The main provinces for mung bean cultivation in China are Anhui, Henan, Hebei, Hubei, Liaoning, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Sichuan.
The nutritional value of mung bean starch is very high, and its uses are also very wide. For example, mung bean starch has antibacterial, antibacterial, hypolipidemic, antitumor, and detoxification effects.
Mung bean starch contains a considerable amount of oligosaccharides (pentosan, galactan, etc.). These oligosaccharides are difficult to be digested and absorbed because the human gastrointestinal tract does not have a corresponding hydrolase system, so mung bean starch provides a lower energy value than other grains and has an adjuvant therapy effect for obese and diabetic patients.
