The article claims that 90% of 8+ million childhood deaths in sub-Saharan Africa are caused by malaria, but the World Health Organization says it's responsible for only 20% of child deaths. Moreover, the latest estimates for annual deaths from malaria (all ages) is 780,000. In any case, it's a lot, and I'm glad this team has delivered a useful tool!
