Ebola and the Google Science Fair

Olivia Hallisey is the 2015 Grand Prize Winner for the Google Science Fair. She was determined to do something to help stop the spread of ebola. She wanted to find a faster way to diagnose the disease, and developed the Ebola Assay Card. This device changes color when the virus has been detected. It requires no refrigeration for transportation or storage, and can confirm in under 30 minutes if someone is infected, before they even show symptoms.
