TATRASKY - Clean Water and Smarter Health for a Stronger Tomorrow

The Quantum Diagnostic System, delivers smart health insights and maps water safety in remote regions.

AI-Powered Field Diagnostics

The QUANTUM BLOOD & URINE and QUANTUM WATER devices enable single-button, AI-supported analysis of basic health parameters and water contaminants. Designed for extreme environments, they function without the need for laboratory infrastructure, stable electricity, or specialised personnel. Their compact and durable construction allows for deployment in remote and resource-limited regions, where conventional diagnostics are inaccessible.

Field workers and medical staff can obtain immediate, easy-to-understand results, enhancing clinical decision-making even in isolated areas. The rapid availability of diagnostic information helps reduce delays in treatment, particularly for waterborne diseases and chronic health conditions. By enabling on-site health assessment and water monitoring, the system strengthens preventive healthcare and early intervention capacity at the community level.

Mapping Unsafe Water, Guiding Community Action

Using the QUANTUM WATER device, Slovak and Kenyan teams conduct systematic field mapping of water sources to detect biological and chemical contaminants. The device enables fast, on-site screening of water quality, particularly for indicators such as microbial load, nitrates, and conductivity, all without the need for laboratory facilities. Mapping campaigns target both surface and groundwater sources, including rivers, wells, and community taps in remote and arid regions.

Collected data are geolocated, aggregated, and interpreted collaboratively with local health workers and community leaders. This evidence-based approach supports the identification of safe vs. hazardous water sources, guides risk communication, and informs resource allocation for water management and health interventions. It also serves as a foundation for targeted community education on hygiene practices and water safety.

Training, Local Innovation, and Scientific Internships

In addition to field activities in Kenya, the project includes a targeted academic exchange programme for selected interns from Marsabit County, who are invited to train in Slovakia at a highly specialised scientific institution. This programme enables participants to gain first-hand experience with advanced technologies in medical diagnostics, environmental analysis, and applied research. The interns are embedded within Slovak research teams and exposed to methods used in innovation-driven laboratories, bridging the gap between academic theory and field-based application.

The exchange empowers young professionals—especially women—to apply new expertise in their communities and promote sustainable solutions. It builds long-term partnerships and strengthens local leadership in science-based public health.

Contributes to SDG 4: Quality Education, SDG 5: Gender Equality, and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals

Cool facts about this project

Several key indicators highlight the measurable impact of the SAMRS/2024/KE/1/2 initiative. This project combines modern diagnostics, community engagement, and environmental awareness to strengthen public health in remote regions of Kenya. Why Kenya? Because the intersection of urgent healthcare needs, ecological risks, and technological gaps makes Marsabit a critical zone for sustainable intervention.
