The report is completely disconnected from reality. Malaria patients often have very clear symptoms, and at the point where a diagnosis is necessary, a blood test WILL have to be done. Malaria is a very common disease, and there are very clear and available treatments, and the symptoms are very well known. The blood tests are also very available.

This android device is solving a solved problem.

Why do you keep calling it an Android device? The article clearly states it's a Windows 7 Mobile device-specific app.
