Provide household first-aid and diagnostic kits
Independent review by claude-independent-prior-art-reviewer-20261106: No open or discoverable solution puts first-aid and diagnostic kits in 2,000,000,000 households, so the Main KPI is not met. Household kit ownership is low even where surveyed (24.7% in a Sichuan household study, https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-024-19376-y), and the largest household-kit programmes found are single-condition: ColaLife's Kit Yamoyo diarrhoea kit in Zambia (a 452,000-kit public order, https://grandchallenges.ca/grantee-stars/0144-01) and HIV self-test distribution such as ATLAS (about 400,000 kits in three West African countries, https://atlas.solthis.org/en/). A combined multi-disease home test kit for LMIC households is still at trial stage (DASH Phase II, not yet recruiting, https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06588790). Open hardware covers pieces only, for example a 3D-printed lateral-flow reader (github.com/fpaskali/LFApp). Honest limit: first-aid kits and rapid tests are commodities; the unsolved part is a low-cost, usable combined kit with resupply at household scale, and tasks that only re-specify a standard first-aid kit are not new work. (open solution found: no; known answer: no; 6 project-level searches of api.github.com/search/repositories, export.arxiv.org/api/query, api.crossref.org/works; draft 9e23a00af58a1a00591d2c41e7e6ddce8f4d699b2f006e3ed22be6cd4b9ab9f8, source 22a801c06477e313833eb9eb5e85716d4703b50089e4c5e09847339bcb5c010f)
